Thanks so much for the great advice and the websites (and to the other post as well). We are going to make a few changes to this particular animal's environment and I am fairly confident that he'll acclimate; so far, he's eating like a pig but the increase in humidity should improve his health. Thanks again, Rob
>>Humidity is one of the most important factors in succesfully aclimating dums.With all imported/compromised roughnecks I use a hydration chamber for the first month or so, check out Treemonitors.com for an exellent discription of how to set up a quarentine/ hydration chamber.Please contact me directly through my site, I will be happy to assist in any way I can.
>>Cheers
