Thanks for the help, turns out that today he's up top and roaming around. Still eating a lot less but all signs are of good health.
Oh, urates are quite white and everything looks well-digested. 17 days between last poops, though, but they're big.
My 10-month-old Panther, Stan, has taken to hanging upside down on the plant stand legs closely facing the floor and sometimes drinking from there. Apart from that, and eating a lot less, he seems fine.
The cage floor is a 2'x2' sheet of white plastic which I keep pretty clean. The...
I asked Zoomed specifically about this cage and they clearly replied that it is all aluminum. To those who had them rust, could you elaborate, please?
Thanks a lot...
I see that 50-60 percent general humidity seems preferred for a Panther. Could someone please explain what the humidity achieves vs, say, 30 percent? Stan gets four 5-minute misting sessions per day and his shedding and urates seem fine. He's eating gut-loaded supers, crickets and silks and...
Just moved him to a 2x2x4 cage this weekend and he looks like he is doing well.
I intend on having him outside on weekends for a while but I think that there are too many birds to let him just sit in a tree or something. I even kept a close eye while he was out in the cage.
I use screen repair kits for the bottom of feeder cups. PRO Repair is the company that makes them in a 5-pack with 3" x 3" aluminum squares and they should work fine.
When my Panther did this I pinned a piece of collard green on the fake ivy and he had a few pieces of it and seemed to like it a lot. I have done this again every week or so.
Thanks for the picture. If you have a chance, could you post a couple of close-ups where you mounted the bio-vine and hanging plant support. Those are tie-wraps through widened screen holes, right?
I just got a similar cage and have lots of time to get it ready since Stan is only 4 1/2...
Thanks for the advice. I clipped a collard green leaf on the ivy and just watched him eat a lot of it. I had no idea that they liked this as much. It's great to see him tear bits off. He seemed to really enjoy it.
Can he be allowed to eat as much greens as he wants and are Collard greens...
Stan (4-month old Panther) has started chewing on the fake ivy. I figure that real plants are the best answer but I was hoping to wait until he moves into a big cage.
What and how can I give him vegetation to eat? Collard greens in a cup?
Thanks for any suggestions...
How often should I clean the water reservoir supplying the misting system? Is just emtying and replacing the water after wiping down the bucket enough? What about the tubing, pump and nozzle? The water is heated to 88 degress or so.
Thanks for any advice...
Just need to vent...
I hardly get to see Stan (4-month old Ambilobe Panther) at all during the week. I have to have his lights turn on at 6:30 AM so he's ready to visit and get food at 7:00 since I have to leave for work at 7:15. I put worms on the leaves and crickets in a cup so he eats...
Hi there, jumping in with a question...
I just installed an automatic misting system and am still trying out various timings. I am using a submersible heater to keep the water at about 86 degrees. This is for a 4-month old Panther named Stan.
Anyone else heating the water and what are...
