In Reply to: Getting Ig use to a new cage?? posted by IG27 on June 05, 2000 at 10:35:34:

We had a large old washable blanket in with Zookie and when it came time to move into the BIG HOUSE we cut it in pieces and laid it where we wanted him to go food, pan for potty, basking.You could use an old bath towel and put pieces where you want him to be, also put 50 gal in the new cage for a few weeks. You will find they grow faster with the added room to exercise so yours won't look small for long.Last but not least lots of comfort from you a reasureing voice.LOL Cathy

: 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.
