Hi!
I've worked with uros (mainly malis) at a reptile rescue for 10 yrs and have finally got a new yellow Sahran uro. He/she is approximately 9 months old (the pet store said the breeder didn't provide that info), 48 grams and 7 1/2 inches long. I am owned by a 9 yr old male German giant and 2 female leos so I am new to the world of uros and want to get my little one off to a good start. Any and all information on care, sexing and temperment is GREATLY appreciated. I feed Ubie spring mix (without spinach), turnip, mustard, dandelion greens, escarole, endive, dried lentils/peas and use a calcium powder. I have uro dust but have heard some bad things about it. Ubie also gets small mealies 2x/week. He won't eat crix for some reason. I was told to feed insects for his first year and then go with a strictly vegetarian diet. The little guy/girl won't touch blueberries, strawberries which I thought they were supposed to love.
My baby has a white belly and some yellow in his sides and bands on his/her back. The vet thinks it's a male because of enlarged femoral pores, but I'm not so sure.
Thanks for all your help! I hope to be a good uro mom, and become a knowledgable keeper!
