Taking my cham outside.

[benpaul]

OK so it hot in wisconsin and i have heard its cool to take your cham outside. Well how do people recommend i do this? i tried once (he likes to climb on me) just letting him sit on my shoulder and we went outside. He SEEMED to like it as far as a human can tell but I REALLY don't wanna stress him. should i just take him out in his baby cage? Hes a lil big 4 that now and he hates being in his adult cage. When i took him out on my shoulder/arm he kinda stood up high on his legs and just looked all over. Didnt seem timid but again i dont speak cham. Birds wigged him out for sure he would duck when one flew over lol. Thanks for any input.

He looks good, and taking him out just on your shoulder is fine, if he seems ok with it. If he doesn't fit his baby cage then you could get a big mesh thing to leave him out in. If it's big enough, secure and lets sunlight in then all you need are branches and a few leaves....so the birds don't scare him too much he needs some cover if you plan to leave him for a bit.
I use a plastic laundry basket for my male and a mesh waste paper basket for the smaller female atm.......there are a few options available so see which he likes best.........or whichever is best for you and you can pretend its his favourite if you want

Yes, very important because they are sneaky and constantly surprising. Even if you are sure it's secure you need to check regularly, because of potential outside interference. If you don't use an enclosure you need to use your eyes every second.......

sometimes i put her in a HUGE cage with bars so she can stay in the sun the cage has vines and leaves and she sits there under the sun.
