| | | | Good idea but one may have wait a long time to gather information on the progeny's reproductive success.
It also applies to juveniles that were probed (sexed) in the early days of their lives. Some people claim that they can probe neonates and that the probed animals don't suffer kinked tails. That may be so, but how do you know that their reproductive organs weren't damaged and their breeding potential compromised? You won't find out till 3- 4 years later. |

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Oct-05 Location: Queensland | | | It's been my experience so far that they're not that difficult to keep. More difficult than a carpet but less difficult than what alot of people will tell you. As long as you keep the humidity up to them, you should have no problems. Having said this, keeping them too wet can have its own problems. It's a bit of a balancing act as far as that's concerned.
Mine weren't probed until about 12 months of age. At this stage they were still getting fuzzy rats. Slow and steady wins the race as far as GTPs are concerned (IMO). Here's a pic of one of mine (taken by Fuscus).
