my new corucia zebrata

[latshki]

ok well it was a smooth transaction the guy new a tiny bit about them and wasnt feeding much of a varied diet of romain and spinch greens
but other than a couple missing toes that are from a long time ago he is in good shape
the guy didn't have the time for him so he decided to give him up and knew that if he asked the 500$ the thing was worth it would never sell as I live on an island full of hicks
but here he is, he's quite friendly and I found out he likes carrots lol

Nice! I haven't seen one of those for sale around here in years.

Were are you keeping him, seems some sort of cage? Is that rust? You will need a diet very similar to a green ig diet

the guy was keeping him in a large ferret cage but he should be out of that pretty soon and in a 4x4x2 (lxhxw)wooden enclosure with my added touch he will be getting a lot of pothos in there two
last night I gave him dandelion greens and bud, I also gave him some mustard greens and shreded carrots and then I dusted it with calcium
unfortunately I think he might have MBD so i will need some help for that also I am trying to get in contact with a guy in the next province over who has about 5 or so of these guys

You will need to provide a good uv ligth as well a veggy only diet with the proper porporcions of calcium and the proper temps for him to come back out of it. Dont use pothos as of now. Pothos may not be toxic to this guys as they are to many animals but they are still extremely high in oxalates wich bind with calcium and makes it impossible for the organism to absorve it, another cause of MBD. On that same link I gave you you will find great info on both treating that and making a suitable enclosure for him wich is practicly the same as for a ig with the diference of being needed some big cork tubes for hidding
