I make sure that any container/box/shift box I am transferring the gaboons to is at the same level as the cage. I will use two sturdy hooks and these work fine as long as you are only using them for very short distances; floor level cages would probably be the way to go.



>>do you use two hooks? A friend said me that hooks could break vertebras of these animals, because they are very weighty and hooks could damage. My juvenile gaboons grow and I want to be ready. Regards.
