All you need to know what to expect and how to care for this new pet. This makes the transition easier for everyone.

The last step is to find the exotic pet of your choice. This may not be easy. Depending on where you live and what is available there. You may need your exotic pet dealer in a store or specialist who is located in another part of the country. You should have for these and the additional cost, sent to prepare your pet for you.

The Fennec weighs between 1.5 to 3.5 lbs, between 9-16 cm long, 8 cm high, and typically has ears 6 inches in length. Basically it’s an open ear! If Yoda was a fox, it would be a Fennec! Their habitat is in North Africa, so if you are in the northern latitudes, living or just as cool in the house, they shudder. While more than 68 ° F for them desirable.

Fennecs owners say that they are only three modes, a Fennec: The sleep mode, hugs, and someone feeding mode of cocaine Fennec. They are extremely hyperactive, and will be a ball of fire, if he does not sleep or cuddle. You have to play with them, or they will lose interest in you. You do not have a few pets like dogs and cats, so you must be an active part of their lives. Instead of thinking as it is a property, you must think it’s a relationship. You know you do good in the relationship, if she chews on her fingers and knuckles to start, this means that with the exception of a member of the pack. It may hurt a bit, while they munch on, but the Fennec will not break the skin.

Although the Fennec is part of the family dog, it’s more like a cat’s personality. It’ll never be his masterpiece. Like a cat, but with less attitude. About how a cat purrs when stroked. Unlike a cat, Fennec is a social animal and needs lots of attention. We can not leave the house, with a fennec fox on the loose. If you leave the house, the Fennec has to go to a dog cage. If you do not like, this little fox in everything and anything to get around them. So if you have no pride at all at home, get a cage.

A Fennec can also be trained in order to use a litter box, but it’s not as easy as they are cats. With a cat, the only point you to where the litter is, and it is on the other. Not so with a Fennec. With them, he must bribe him with treats, and constantly pushing his nose in the litter box. I also read that the Fennec prefer a litter box cover.

Fennec foxes are natural diet insects, rodents, small birds, eggs and rabbits. Well, if you’re like me, is the only thing on this list that comes to my house eggs. If you have a Fennec has to feed you can not get a plain old dog food. In my research, I found the dog food for exotic pets to Mazuri to $ 35.72. If you get that, some eggs, some fruits and vegetables of your fennec fox is happy.

If you have any thoughts on Fennec breeding, you must understand that unlike cats and dogs (and most people) fennecs partner for life. If you get a pair of Fennec, you can expect ranges from January to April Kits, with a washout period of 70 days. In addition, if you get a “companion” for your household, then there is a possibility they are less social with you. It is also the issue of protection of the nest. They become hostile when you try to disturb him. You can trust you enough to cuddle with them, but not enough for you to get close to children.

Before buying your Fennec, check what the law says in your state and municipality. I was surprised that the California Fennec prohibited. All other states allow Fennec, but some local governments have laws against TEM. So always check before he receives them. Nothing worse than to join your Fennec, and took him on any matter of form.

Unfortunately, many people in pet stores and reptile centers are ignorant about the accommodation and catering, to bearded dragons, an unhealthy life and often have short.

If you tried a baby bearded dragon can buy here are some tips to help you properly throw a Bearded Dragon.

First Bearded dragons grow quickly and

Although you with a baby who is only 5 to 6 cm in length can look for when he is 12 months, it is 18-22 cm long and weigh up to 700 grams Adults require a vivarium is 4 ‘x 2 ‘x 2′ in size, and they are likely to need when they are eight to ten months. This is a false economy to buy a small animal park with the intention to upgrade as it grows, and it is best to buy the largest size first. Too many live in a terrarium where they do not run properly without banging on the glass to the nose and tail on the bottom.

Despite the myth of baby bearded dragons do not feel lost in a large terrarium – after all they are is in the desert, where a pen for the first few weeks!

To do they grow together is, they have a big appetite and very often, and how babies should be fed. They are not cheap to keep pets – a bearded dragon can cost as much as a small dog or cat food every week.

Second Bearded dragons need the right temperatures

From the hot, dry desert of Australia, they need a temperature range in their vivarium, who imitated their natural environment. The establishment of a mini-desert in your home is part of the fun to keep them. As cold-blooded animals, thermoregulation them – that is, if too hot, they should be able to move to a cooler location, and if it should move too cold to be able to warm up. The vivarium should have a basking area under a heat lamp, a temperature of 105 degrees Fahrenheit, and the other end “cool end” of the vivarium should not reach more than 85 degrees. At night, they should be able to know a good drop in temperature, so that the heater must be switched off until the room temperature does not fall below 65 degrees for babies, and 60 degrees for adults. The temperatures should be at the right levels with a mobile phone and thermostat.

The heat must be supplied by a heat lamp – Bearded dragons do not absorb heat from the ground, and actually can not feel it. Heat rocks and heat pads can easily burn should not be used.

Third Bearded dragons need UVB exposure

In the desert, they are basking in the rays of the sun, which provides powerful UVB and helps synthesize vitamin D3. This is crucial as it means they can use the calcium that is important to help their growth is to use. The lack of UVB causes lead to metabolic bone disease (MBD), the limb deformities, and that can only be treated if he came early, and is often fatal. Their requirements are kept UVB highest of all reptiles in captivity. A fluorescent tube over the entire length of the vivarium ensures that they are UV-B for the duration of light in the exposed. To use the best tubes are ReptiSun 10% and 12% Arcadia.

If they are exposed to UVB for 12 hours in the vivarium, they get enough UVB, but even that is only the equivalent of about 20 minutes in direct sunlight Australians. For this reason, the skins are not made available for bearded dragons as hiding their exposure to UVB radiation can be advantageously reduced.

4th Substrate

Babies are not precise and investors tend to get soft substrate with bites. Fabric is the best substrate for babies because it brings no risks. Do not use sand, until the baby is six months old, and never use wood chips. This is to avoid driving into the abdomen, which is usually fatal.

5th Place the vivarium before buying a bearded dragon

If you got your vivarium you will find the temperatures fluctuate in the first instance, and you need time to play with the position of the thermostat probe before receiving the correct temperature range. Settle the implementation of the vivarium and leave for about a week before your baby is bringing home the best idea.

6th Bringing home a baby bearded dragon

Most babies will travel comfortably in a small black box. There is no need for additional heating when the weather is very cold. In this case, you can keep a hot water bottle on hot box.

Refuses to eat when you can bring your new baby home, you will find the food, the first batch of crickets you put in the vivarium, then. Many new owners worry about it, but it’s just a reaction to the stress of moving. It takes up to two weeks for a baby to settle into a normal eating behavior.

To help him in the best of satisfaction, is the urge to go and deal with them to resist. Give him two weeks to pay up before you pick it up. You can start using it to give you a hand in the vivarium, where food is unloaded or not.

When it’s time to start handling, use, by putting your hand under it and picking. In the manner of their main predators are birds, so that everything that comes to them through their fear.

From time to time, your baby will get lines like tiger marks on her stomach. These are stress lines, but do not worry too much. Many things can cause stress to a baby present, and most are too worried to do anything. It could be a dark coat, suddenly they see the corner of my eye.

In the morning, your beardie will be cold and still. It takes about an hour for them to warm up, around and you begin to do the right thing because it would be in the desert. Be sure to give them time to wake up well before offering food.

7th Feeding your baby bearded dragon

Babies under the age of 12 weeks should be three times daily fed with small-sized crickets (first or second stage). Every meal should be as many as they can eat in 10 minutes. A daily diet should avoid calcium-MBD be dusted. Finely chopped vegetables or fruit should always be available. As an adult, your beardie will be 80% vegetarian, he has to get used to eating vegetables at first.

The best part is, because grilling, how much they eat live food. You can feed them crickets, but this is much more expensive, and as soon as she ate some locusts do not eat BBQ meal, because they are more bitter. Have a basic food mealworms as their skin is rich in chitin that can bearded dragons are not very easy to digest. Mealworms and wax worms can be offered as an occasional treat.

Most bearded dragons do not eat dry and frozen food, so you need to get used to food live food.
