Baby leopard humidity

[Steven1989]

Hi everyone my baby leopard is active but I've noticed when I spray his enclosure and humid hide he seems to get very unsettled and goes to dry end of vivarium any ideas as to why?

My only guess would be he doesn't like the actual spraying. You should make it a closed chamber, it will keep the humidity at the level it's suppose to be much better then any open top and all the spraying you could do.

Yes and also, and something I've learned about misting the enclosure down. They will learn to love being misted if they associate it with food or being fed. If I spray my leopards, they all get active and head to the food dish no matter the time of day LOL.

Are you spraying with warm water or cold? Maybe he just wants to avoid the spray..?

Like said above, most babies don't like the spray/mist, especially if it is cold. Even my adults differ, one loves water and two will run away. Do your best to keep it nice and moist so the humidity stays higher.

He's trying to get out of the rain. Wouldn't you?
