Lizards need a little cave house, a water bowl, a fake plant in their cage, and a plastic thermometer.

How do you set up a lizard cage?

Well it really depends on the type of lizard. all lizards however need a basking area which is a area higher above than anything else a log or tree would be perfect. They all are going to need a a water bowl some types of lizards will need two separate water bowls like a bearded dragon will need one to soak in and one to drink from. they will all need bedding i recommend a type of bark because most lizards will dig and if the dirt gets in their eyes it can cause infection in the eyes which can lead to death so i would use bark to be on the safe side. You will need to have a thermometer and a humidity gauge. U will need a food bowl as well unless u r going to feed them crickets but if u didn't feed them anything else besides crickets put the crickets in a bag a pour some calcium powder into a bag and shake the bag so your lizard will have some calcium and not just protein. You could also put some fake or real plants in their it will help them be in tact with their natural environment. This is what u should have in a lizard cage no matter what depending on who u but your lizard from i would look at the habitat they were in when you had bought them and get a some more ideas from what should be in that specific lizards cage. HOPE THIS HELPED :D


I found a baby lizard i believe outside in the cold weather and brought him inside where its warmer will the lizard survive?

First, you should identify the species of lizard, and if possible return it to the habitat you found it in. If this is not possible (ie, temperatures have fallen below freezing), then you will need to acquire a cage appropriate for the size of the lizard. Research the heating and lighting requirements. Many lizards require UVB lighting, and they must have thermostat-controlled heat provided for them. The setup for a reptile can be expensive.Once you have provided a cage with proper heat and light, a small shallow water dish, a hide box, climbing branches if the reptile is arboreal, and appropriate food (most lizards are insectivores--buy crickets at a pet store and coat them with calcium powder before feeding them), you should schedule a vet appointment.Unless you plan to release the lizard in spring, it will require a vet checkup and fecal exam for parasites. Wild lizards all carry internal parasites, and these can quickly build to lethal levels in captivity, and must be treated promptly. If you plan to release the lizard, then use newspaper to line the cage and change it daily. Sterilize the cage each week.Mist with water, or provide a humid-hide (directions can be found online) to provide proper humidity for the species of lizard.If all of the above sounds like too much work, or is too expensive, take the lizard to a wildlife rehabilitator. Do not keep it a day longer than necessary to contact the wildlife rehabber, because the longer it is kept in inappropriate conditions, the more likely it is that the lizard will succumb to stress, develop and infection, and die.


Do the guinea pigs need to be in their own cage when pregnant?

You need to keep any males out of the same cage that a pregnant female is in. You can keep other females with the pregnant one. If you think you may have a problem with the pregnant one, you can cage her by herself.
