Only had her for a week now but yes, yes and hopefully next time.Originally Posted by FIREball
Had her two days and fed her even though I was going to hold her back a week [previous owner fed every Sat, 1 Rat Pup live. She appeared to me to be looking for some grub so I got her a pup and she hit it within about 10 seconds of his feet hitting the aspen. Poop was regular, nothing abnormal to report. She had a shed before I got here and had some stuck shed on the later part of her body. I used the method described in another thread and got it all off of her. I think her humidity levels where low as she had a very small plastic dish for h2o that she always knocked over [per previous owner]. I got he a larger bowl and now she drinks from it often, and like I said, she loves to hang out on the limb over the water. Someone mentioned that she might be looking for an escape route, caused by stress as a possiblity, but she has never paid a second mind at the top screen. Usually when on her branch, she spreads our and rests her head on one of the limbs as if she is taking it all in [i may be over romanitizing a little here]. She shows no signs of stress. No aggitation. Always ready to be picked up and handled. She just seems like a happy girl.
I am concerned about the belly temp as it is still hovering around 100 degrees. This is exactly how her cage has been set up from the get go as her previous owner had this cage with her when he first got her almost a year ago. What temp should I shoot for the the substrate surface inside her hide?
