Im thinking about getting a wc male but I want to be sure he isnt stressed. WHat can I do to make him feel at home? I will have about 2 days almost to be right next to him if needed to mist him. then 2 days of school then 2 more days off then back to a normal school routine.
Unless you are planning on adding him to a breeding group, my recommendation is dont! I have already given you some great advice in another thread. What are you questions?? Do you have a automatic misting system? If not get one first!! What any WC needs first is privacy and rain/hydration.
I don't have an automatic. I can be home most of the time now until summer football. I'm just not sure how much harder they are to keep. I would breed him also. How to I get a fecal done it will be my first if I go through with this.
As someone with a bit of experience I will say Don't! They are MUCH harder!! I run mistings on WC for 10-15min in the morning and for 4-5 min 3 more times throughout the day. They have been SO traumatized that sometimes it takes them a long time to drink and that's THE most important part. Many will not drink with you watching. Check on fecals, I do my own but my vet charges $40 for a fecal and that doesn't include the visit exam or meds. If you haven't been able to invest in a misting system, it will be very hard to invest in what a WC needs to pull through. And with all that said some never make the transition even under the best care.
It sounds like I am being harsh but I am really not. I really am just trying to help.
Not harsh at all. I feel like its the only way to get a good looking Cham any more that isn't at a crazy price.
It's not a good price...when you factor in meds, cleaning supplies (I removed my cages every week and sprayed them down with 12% hydrogen peroxide so the Cham would not keep reinfecting themselves) not cheap, fecals etc....it's not a good price. It costs more if you do it right.
