Re: I hate this..

I sent a few of them nice comments to look at the web sites.

Careful not to criticize, I say "Nice sav, have you seen savannahmonitor.co"

that way I don't get the "sod off douche" comments back.

Let them come to thier own conclusions.

I just wish I could replicate the level of the info they had, but give me time, I am adding to my site every day.

I really think you should put pics in there of what the cage looks like now, with all the things you've added (the grass, etc). At the end of the enclosure plans link you put, there's no real "end product" photo of the whole thing. Photos of your current enclosure give a much better idea of what it should look like

Re: I hate this..

The mouse part does not bother me nearly as much as it's small size and the screen front.

He cannot maintain humidity with that, and not enough dirt to burrow in.

sad..

Re: I hate this..

I don't see anything good about that video. I am not surprised he is feeding mice and rats. That cage is WAY to small he feeds cat food and it has screen doors.

I am by all means an amateur (only know what I know because of you guys), but I left him a comment.

I see that, thanks for the link!!

I just left a comment too, he seems like a nice guy, let's hope he's one that accepts constructive help.

Re: I hate this..

Need suggestions... here is another video I commented on:



I wrote:
It is obvious that you love your sav. He has a really great personality! But your housing for your sav is nowhere near what it needs to be... Check out Savannahmonitor.co for more information. Start making the necessary changes or your sav will probably pay for it with his life... I want you to enjoy your sav for a long time, so hopefully you'll do what's necessary...

He responded:
The cage has a second level with 2ft of a 50/50 dirt/sand mixture. Humidity stays between 50-70. He gets a diet of 85% bugs 15% eggs. Basking temperature of 130-135F, top of the cage temperature is at 85-90F, and the bottom of the cage is 78-85F. He has two water bowls with filtered water and a tub full of non filtered water for soaking.
What am I missing?
-Chris

But I'm not experienced enough to respond further. Is there anything I should say?

Re: I hate this..

He needs more hides and cover, leaf litter, branches. Bury some earth worms in the soil for mental and physical stimulation when he can't be outside to play. He looks fairly healthy and well rounded, otherwise.
