Hey folks,
I am in the process of researching geckos and I'm planning on getting a group of crested geckos within the next few months-1 year (yes, I like to plan things out, you can call me anal).
At any rate, what I'm wondering, is do those of you with herps have problems with your cats trying to "hunt" them?
Also, do you keep your herps in a single room and then keep the cats out of that room or do the cats have access to the rooms where the tanks/vivs. are?
Now, I assume that I would definately keep the cats out of the room the geckos were kept in when I am doing viv. maintenence or have the geckos out, but my main concern is the cats trying to knock over the vivs/terreriums the geckos are kept in...Because of the lighter weight of a terrarium vs. an aquarium full of water, my concern is that the cats would be able to knock it over and get to the geckos... Which would mean that my investment in some nice cresteds would turn into ultra-expensive cat treats
So, what are your experiences along those lines and what, if anything, do you do to prevent said herp massacre?
Thanks for your help!
