getting a uro... any tips?

RockaBillie · Apr 24, 2013

in 2 weeks we will be making a uro our newest addition. i have done tons of research but would love some personal input/tips.

what species do you prefer and why? (we are not 100% sure what we will get as the breeder said they have a few species).

Dont you have a choice as to which one you get? I like Moroccan because of their color and size. Egypitans are way too big to me.. and Ornate and Arabians are on the small side. Ornate and Arabian are very pretty though. Saharans are ok.. but most are wild caught and I wouldnt want to deal with possible parasites. Which types does the breeder have available?

one tip, be careful who you buy from if you get from craigslist. i bought a uro after seeing the horrible condition it was in and he was riddled with parasites costed me several hundred dollars in vet bills ( i don't regret it he's healthy and gaining weight now) but if you don't have the money for costly vet visits don't buy an animal just because it's cheap.
