she's been investigating and licking the food i put in but i dont think she ate any
i still havnt gotten any peas yet. i wish i could drive
hopefully she'll be like George and once she starts eating she wont stop lol George is a pig and i like him that way.
onces she's done with the quarentine and eating and i introduce her to George do you think she'll stop eating again?
i hope George will want to share his house with her

Hi Urojade. I would say after the quarentine time I would not put her in with any other Uro's becouse what if she has some type of bacteria, It can pass over to the other and that animal may not be able to overcome it.

If he attempts to breed with her (and is successful), she will stop eating when producing eggs. I would recommend that you wait to introduce her to him until she's put on a good amount of weight and is eating regularly. Egg production is very taxing on the female's body and she should be in excellent before George decides he wants to hear "the pitter-patter of little uro feet".

Good luck with your girl, hope she fattens up nice

Hey Jade,
Sounds like she starting to come around! Shaes & Sunfox both have Good Concerns. Just let time go by... enjoy them seperatly for awhile. When she looks & behaves completely like a Uro, then think about formal intrductions. It would be wise to get that fecal done before hand. Remember-- no hurry, you have plenty of time. Except on a Name!? I'm going to use "Georgette" to keep things straight for now.
