Also, Yoyo doesn't really like to eat in front of people. The only time he does is if it's a juicy hornworm. I tend to either not make eye contact or stay very still for about a half hour (doing homework, watching a show outside, photoshopping whatever) and eventually I'll hear the CLINK of his...
I tie a shot glass near Yoyos basking spot. They try to get out by climbing up the sides and he notices it, not to mention his lazy butt doesn't wanna leave the basking spot to get food :)
Hi guys, not sure how many people here own a beardie, but with reptiles you can't own Just one! Nugget has been having trouble pooping ever since this winter and I figured it was because of the drop in temps. However it's still continuing and I have to run his belly for awhile to get him to...
I took Yoyo outside today as I normally do (his cage is mobile) and he started basking as normal and what not. About 3 i checked on him and noticed he seemed very stressed and running around the cage (I took my beardies out on the deck to soak up some natural sun, but Nugget the beardie was a...
Chams like a big variety of food. He might just be becoming spoiled from the waxies. I'd wait a day or so and if he still isn't eating get a different staple feeder :)
I made a 5x5x3 Cham cage for just 35 bucks. 1/2 inch chicken wire squares by the roll with 1x1s. Super cheap and he loves the firm grip he gets on the wire (it doesn't hurt his feet, but every Cham is different :)
Haha, I used to feed my Cham store bought romaine lettuce and greens... ever since I've introduced him to the organic green house gardens my parents have, he refuses to eat anything from his cage. I have to feed him outside in the garden now :s
When I got my male Cham, Yoyo, he was just like this. He hissed and bit me when I was trying to clean his cage, the little stinker. After about a month and a half he warmed up to me and started eating from my hand. Unfortunately chams are nothing like dogs and take soooooo much patience to get...
If you just google the laws for it it says it's illegal without a permit, which you already know. However it says the cost is about ~50 dollars per animal per year. So the government is gonna be up your butt about the whole ordeal.
Just a heads up for the hedgies. I owned one for about 3 months, and while he was adorable they're VERY messy. He'd chew up his bedding and pee in it...and then wrap himself in it. They also stink like a ferret does, and any other hedgehogs my family has owned has been very mean. All my friends...
Haha every time he basks he holds out one hand. It was pretty adorable until he tried to eat it, which then it was just funny watching him bite it out of his hands
Sounds awesome! He seems to enjoy it when I take him out. I was just worried if he munched on a bug that might have ate a different bug which ate something poisonous to him. I'm guessing it's too small to matter though.
Alright y'all, I got a male Cham named Yoyo. Now I live out in the country, about 30 minutes from any city. I live on two acres and my parents have various green houses. They are all organic, and grow some hibiscus plants in one. They use the mantids I raise instead of pesticides. Yoyo loves...
Also, you can make 1/2 inch chicken wire screen cages with 1x1s for about 30 bucks. My current cage is 5'5'3'. I put a towel on the bottom, it sucks up the water and keeps humidity pretty good
That's amazing! I had no idea they were so popular. I live about 45 mins away from there, so that's usually where I get Yoyo hornworms and treats. Do you know any other places like there that take good care of animals? I'd love to support other smaller businesses
I live in southern Oregon if you're close I'd let Yoyo breed with her. Only issue is he's only 5 or six months, and I have no idea how to tell if he's mature
I'm glad to hear Tina and Icarus finally found someone who loved them before they passed. I've talked with the manager of my local petsmart (telling him 90 percent of his veiled care guides are wrong and that I would be willing to give correct basic care info, telling him most of his beardies...
Keep in mind when veiled bask they stretch out and look very skinny. They just do it to absorb the heat. Most of the time you can see ribs even if they are well fed, so to really see if they're the right weight I'd put em on a scale. In the picture I have he's basking, but you can't see his...
