My new Ig cage(7X4X8) is suppose to be done this week. I will be decorating the cage.
I'm putting a nice size mortar tub to use for a water pool and I am going to put sterile
potting soil in there on one side and indoor/outdoor carpet on the other. Big tree limbs, shelf, and a hide spot.
Question: What is the best way to get Ziggi use to the new cage, he is currently in a 55G, he is not a year old yet,
and a little under 2 feet, so this new cage will be a mansion. I want to make sure the move doesn't stress him out.
Will he search out his food, or do I show him where its at? Don't want him to starve, and I'm gonna put the food on the bottom
on the other side of the cage opposite the basking area? Should I put it close to begin with, maybe on his shelf?
He's gonna look so little in this big cage! Thanks.
