To make cleaning etc. easier, offer food in a bowl, or tapper ware. Helps avoid spills, etc.
In the summer time, i leave Soni almost all day long in his out-door cage, which is 8 ft squared, sand half of it is covered. It is made of plastic wiremesh, so he gets greaty visibility, air, etc.
As long as there is a shady spot, there is no danger of leaving the ig outside.
He's gonna be alright with the change, lotsa climbing and hiding will help speed up the adjustment.
c-ya!
: How's he look? I have a question about where to put the food? I have been putting it at the bottom
: of the cage, but he doesn't seem to eat as much. Then when I get home in the afternoon I put it up on his
: shelf, he seems to like it up there. Problem, the UVB and heat dry it out quicker, I wet it down real good.
: Should I keep it on the shelf so he eats more, or when he gets hungry enough will he go get it? I still try to hand
: feed him some at night, but can't do this every night. Any ideas?
: Also, he pooped in his cage once(first day), but then skipped a day, put him in the tub for a soak(next day) and he made up for missing that day.
: Do you think his nerves are a little tore up from being in the new cage? Is this normal? He went from 55G(one bedroom apartment) to
: 8X7X4(5,000 sq. foot mansion), he should be excited, right:). He thinks he won the lottery.
: Also, we did get outside for about 30 minutes this weekend, it was like 95 degrees. How long should I keep him out?
: Sorry for all the questions, thanks.
