Question Duprasi Owners

My local exotic shop can order me in a Duprasi. I've been doing research and have read on Crittery Exotics that they live alone, are slow moving, are quite docile and they have a simple diet of Gerri Gerbil and fruit/veg they also like insects etc. So can anyone who owns them tell me a bit about their behavior, tank set up etc. Before I decide if they are the pet for me.

I must admit I know every little about them. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on them. I would of liked something a little different than a hammy but if I can't find a vet who'll treat exotics then it would be foolish of me to offer him/her a home. I doubt P@H even know what a Duprasi is.

Default Re: Duprasi Owners

Hii, I just recently got 2 male duprasi myself and I keep mine together and they are very happy like that but that's not the case for females as they're very territorial compared to the males and will fight and kill they're cage mate in most situations. Mine are fed on hamster food but they can be fed on gerbil food as well, but water based fruit and veg must be kept to a treat as it cause diahhrea if eaten too often, mine seem to be extremely fond of mealworms like most duprasi. behavior wise They are quite fast runners in they're cage and when they're comfortable with you out of their tank too, but they are very happy to sit in you hand to be stroked as they are mainly quite docile when being handled. My 2 are kept in a tank with mostly wooden accessories, as they're known for chewing plastics, the only plastic I currently have in my tank is a wheel as they destroy any other plastic toys,houses ect.
I've only ever kept hamsters other than large animals and I found them quite similar compared to the hams,other than their sleeping pattern which is a bit odd as they are usually up in the evening, early morning (7 ish) then sometimes at midday, I hope I helped a bit with your choice, I definitely recommend them pets, Annaa ��
P.s the picture belows from a few days ago before I changed the tube and bath for cardboard and wood as they chewed them and the edges became sharp

I'm in Northern Ireland and have been looking for a duprasi forever. What is the name of your local exotic shop and where is it? Is there anywhere else I could get my duprasi?

I'm afraid this thread is 4 years old and the original poster has not visited the forum for 4 years either.
