Re: Chahoua info.

Hi,
here is my way:
1.)breeding age minimally 2 years of age, 2 and half is better

2.)I feed them every other day. Their taste is unstable. There are weeks during which they dont touch CDG/babyfood mix and love crickets or dubia roaches, later they like mix. But always love to hunt for live prey.

As mine dont like pure CGD (as young animals received babyfood), I mix it with various babyfood, like apple/banana or peaches etc.

3.)horizontal and vertical branches, live ficus, pot filled with humid sphagnum and cork tube, which is inserted into pot. They like to lay eggs into.

4.)no. Females take a rest even they are housed with males. But watch them well, sometimes females need to be separated during breeding season (when crashed after few clutches)

And one more thing - give them hotspot. Female chahoua needs that more than other Rhacos females.
That is my experience.
Good luck,
Ori
