Tenrec Set Up Photos

Post  Nellie on August 5th 2010, 5:01 pm

Thought I would post a couple of photos of my Tenrec's set ups

Orinocho




I had to "borrow" one of his cork bark tubes until my new stock arrives next week but I am sure he will not mind.

Here is Orinocho with his milky eyes - first time I have been able to get a half decent photo of him whilst this happens - it is really strange to witness this as one minute his eyes are glazed over with white gunk and they seconds later completely gone.




The two girls, Madame Cholet and my new little girl off Col share this set up




Both set ups have red heat lamps to maintain temperatures.

Here are some updated photos of my not so little girl - I still haven't named her apart from her nickname greedy bugger!!








I need a suitable name for a greedy, forever eating tenrec!

The photo of the male is fascinating no1

You should call the girl Bessie Bunter lol!
Bessie Bunter was essentially a female counterpart to her brother Billy, sharing many characteristics with her brother, including her large size and large appetite.

I use Repti Bark - more natural for them than finacard - they love the cork bark tubes and bog wood to climb on - as for biscuits, none of mine touch them, they prefer any of the following:-

Dried/Live Mealworms
Can'o'Mini Mealworms
Can'o'Mini Crickets
Raw Beef Mince
Baby Food - Grandpa's Sunday lunch and the mango desert one go down a treat

Cooked Chicken - will take some of this

I have taken the goats milk out now and it doesn't seem to have had any adverse effect - my new little girl squeaked at me today - never heard a tenrec squeak before and as I had the taste of raw mince on my fingers she took a quick nip at them - note to self - new girlie tenrec eats anything including fingers if they smell right!
