Sorry about taking my sweet time on replying Jack. I'm not sure if mine is wild caught. A friend of ours got her in Tenessee for a christmas present for us all.. because I had always complained about never being able to find a female uro. She doesn't seem wild caught, as soon as we got her she ate and she was nice and plump.. pooping on people already. I would assume that if she was wild caught then she was handled a lot at the pet shop.



How often does yours eat.. I strongly suggest you find it's favorite food and feed it some everytime you hold it, before and after. You say that your uro is too fast for you to let it roam around, use the hand over hand approach. Let it have it's freedom but at the same time let it know you're the one who's in control. How do you hold it, because if you hold it too tightly, if it has no freedom it wont want to be held and it will keep struggling. Animals are animals, and will always be animals, animal instinct takes over very often.. all those people who say that their uro has never ran away from them, I strongly doubt that that is the truth. Give it time.. it hasn't been that long.. and with luck everything will work out.



Josh..
