This is a caresheet I wrote for leopards.

The way I care for Indian Stars is identical.

Hi! May I ask, is it safe for a 3-month old Indian Star to be soaked the same way as a Leopard, as it has been mentioned in the Hydration portion of the caresheet?

 

[DocDelFierro]

Thanks a lot!

Yes it is ok to soak as the same regime as leopards.
