Hey, I am going to get my little one this weekend. Before I go, I have some final questions. Hoping you all can help.
1. Does anyone put plants in the bin/table with them? I know I cant plant them in there, they wont survive in the substrate, but in pots. If so, what do you put?
2. I have a HUGE razor grass bush outside. When he gets bigger, will it be alright if he gets into. I have not seen any info on razor grass.
3. I have read a couple different things on feeding times. Some people feed every morning, some only feed (a larger amount) every other day. Pros and cons of each?
4. On the subject of food, how much per serving??? The one I am getting is about 5/6 months old. The mazuri chow, do you moisten it? Some people have said the chow should be available all day, some moisten it and sprinkle grass clippings on top. Whats proven to be best?
5. Substrate, how deep does it need to be?
6. Easiest way to clean. Pick up as he poops, then a complete dump and new substrate every week? every two weeks?
7. I know they love prickly pear cactus leaves, what about other succulents? I have a potted container of them, can I feed leaves of those?
8. Daily soaks, at what point do those become every couple days, weekly, monthly?
9. UVB bulbs or mercury vapor? Does that stay on all thru the night too? I plan on keeping the CHE on 24/7, right? But what about the uvb? Do you turn that off at night?
10. I plan on planting a prickly pear cactus, but until then, where does everyone find the most cost effective pads and fruit?
Sorry for amount of questions. If you have an answer for all, or even just one, please share. THANKS!!!
