New ambalobe Nosey cross

[steviejcsc]

Here is my 3 month old panther. I believe he is a male, ambalobe nosey cross!
Got him yesterday, have not seen him eat or drink yet though! Hopefully soon... Does he look good otherwise?
Sorry for the crummy picture, had to use my phone.

Nice looking cham. And setup. I also have an ambilobeXnosybe cross. You can take a look at my pictures in my profile.

Does he look small? I am worried that I have not seen him eat!

 

[marky2088]

Have you tried cup feeding?

 

[steviejcsc]

yea, worms and crickets... he just looks at them... no interest

 

[marky2088]

How long have you had him?

 

[marky2088]

oh nevermind. You have had him about a day

Sometimes they might not eat for the first few days.
Just have 2 crickets in the feeding cup inside the cage under a branch.
If he doesn't eat in the next day or two get back to us.
I'm sure we find some houseflys for you and he will go crazy for them.

[steviejcsc]

thanks!
Picked him up in New Hempshire at the expo!
He was one of the bigger ones they had, so he should be eating!

nice set up. big for a little guy tho. itll def take some time for him to explore & get comfortable with his new home. i like the idea of keeping the cup under the branch. that way the crix wont stress him out while he still not interested. just give him lots of chances to drink.

How do I keep water out of the feeder dish? If I take it out at mistings, what's a easy way to attach it to come out easy?

 

[pantherlover]

i just leave the cup sitting near the bottom but if you wanna keep it up higher maybe hang it by making hooks with paiper clips or something

 

[steviejcsc]

Worth a shot! Any other suggestions? The cage is only 16x16x 30?!?!

to keep the feeder cup from getting full of water, cut out the bottom leaving about a 1/2 inch or so of the plastic. Then hot glue some wire mesh to the plastic left on the bottom, that way water can just drain right out.
