Upgraded cage, now the *#@$! eats little, poops poorly

Posted by david hakala on June 30, 2002 at 22:50:07:

I had my 3-foot ig in a vertical cage, 4' H and 2' square. It had a screen-door front, with not much humidity retained (40%). He had two 1x2-foot platforms plus the floor from which to choose. He ate like a pig and scrupulously pooped in the water bowl every day.

Last week, I built him a horizontal 2x2x4 cage, with acrylic doors, a 2x2 basking platform, lots of floor space, a 2-foot swimming pool and a humidifier that gets the RH up to 70+ percent.

Now he leaves most of his food untouched and poops on the basking platform - very little.

Should I patiently wait for him to adapt, or just eat the ungrateful SOB now? ;-)
