Angry hoggie

Mine is fine to get back in the cage.. she's not bad at all.. but my big BCC surinam is a real pain.

Your hog island will probably be better about going in the cage as she gets older.

hope so because if she doesnt get better it could take hours to get her back in otherwise. she gets quite determined that she is not goin back in.

so how do you get them back into their enclosure?

Its really not that bad. They have strong feeding responses and a strong will to stay out when they are out but they are hardly unmanageable. :)

i was being kinda sarcastic, mine is still real small ( check out the pics in my gallery ). she does try really hard and wrap every part of her body around my hands that she can get around until i trick her and get her back in.

giggling... sorry guys... i'm just trying to make a good decision... an informed one. i don't like to buy pets spontaneously... instead i try to really investigate them and if they are wrong for me, then i don't get them... better than rehoming later on.

:D thanks for your help... cause you are all being SOOOOOOO helpful!

No need to be sorry! Any exposure for these awesome Boas is ok with me!

they really are great and like jamie said that feeding response is insane.

Here are a couple of pics (sorry for the poor quality, but i didnt want to hassle him) of Rob and his feeding mode anger.

Rob is a little turd, isn't he? He's a bit more assertive than Diva is.. though you don't want to get your hand anywhere near her during feeding time.
