DUPRASI
FEEDING:
In captivity their diet should consist of a good mixture of parrot
seed (which contains dried fruits & vegetables), dry dog food, fresh
leafy greens such as - spinach, cabbage and dandelion. You may also
offer your Duprasi live insects such as - mealworms and crickets.
HOUSING:
They should be housed much in the same way as a hamster or gerbil.
Pine should be the only substrate used as cedar will cause health
problems! Fresh water and food should be available at all times.
Your Duprasi will enjoy tubes and tunnels to crawl through. Exercise
wheels and balls are also a good choice for them! Being in the
rodent family they like to chew.....so supply them with fresh
branches or commercial chew blocks.
DID YOU KNOW??
Duprasis are very unique and somewhat still rare as pets. They are a
naturally tame animal and rarely bite. By nature they are pair
animals and may do so for life. Should a recent purchase go from
very docile to very aggressive you probably have a female about to
give birth!!
