See my other post. we posted at the exact same time so don't know if you saw it.How did this happen?
Hopefully, you can steer him away from areas with furniture and stuff to hide under! Maybe you could offer a more tunnel/burrow-like enclosure like a narrow box? I'm thinking he probably won't go into the cup, but perhaps if you provide a hide that looks inviting? Then again, he's probably more interested in searching for love than a place to hide... I'm afraid I haven't any other ideas, sorry! I hope you're able to get him to safety!The first way I approached packing didn't go to we'll so I improvised. hes out of the enclosure so Imuch just letting him slowly wonder without getting in the way. I set the cup in front of him so he hopefully walks in on his own. if I get anywhere close to him with Tools he just flies.
I'm relieved to hear that! I would recommend that tomorrow's attempt be made in the bathroom, or some other relatively small enclosed room with limited number of places to hide -- just in case!I got him contained in a small kritter keeper for the night until I can properly package him up.
Yes indeedIs that a C fimbri?
Males are very flighty, even before they mature. The females will stand their ground and fight you hard... while they're in their enclosure. Once you get them out of their familiar environment, they much prefer to run and hide than to fight. Keep that in mind and you should be fine.Ah. That's my next rehouse -- my C fimbri. Looks like things might get interesting then. (weak chuckle, very weak chuckle)
I will, this was a learning experience for the books.Males are very flighty, even before they mature. The females will stand their ground and fight you hard... while they're in their enclosure.

Dunno if mine is male or female -- mine's not one to hang on side and let me peek/guess, yannoe? And all its moults are deeply buried in his/her's elaborate tunnel system. Mine has been rehoused from shipping vial to a tiny souffle' cup, then from souffle' cup to a juvie enclosure. And at EACH re-housing, mine has escaped and required multiple attempts of re-cupping after crazy bolting.Males are very flighty, even before they mature.
