Caring in Malaysia

  • Nocturnal and easily stressed: keep a quiet, warm cage with a solid-surface exercise wheel.
  • Insect-based food with a balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio supports quills and bones.
  • Handle gently in the evening; check feet and weight regularly for early health issues.

For health concerns, consult a licensed veterinarian in Malaysia.
