Resi Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 My wife and I will be bringing baby Max home this weekend. We are very happy and excited about our new family member. I have found alot of great info on this site over the last week or 2 but I have a question I havn't seen answered. What is an appropriate room temperture for Max's room? My wife and I like to keep the house colder than average but we want our grey to be comfortable. Thanks, Resi
lovemyGreys Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Hi Resi, If Max is currently being reared in a warmer enviroment than you have at your home, then it is advisable to provide a adequate temperature for him to start with, this need not be extreme heat.Greys are good at adapting to the environment around them, be sure to locate his cage away from any drafts.how is the climate where you live ? Here are a few useful threads that will give you some advice with Max.. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/72855-bringing-home-your-baby-grey.html http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/73094-socializing-your-baby-grey.html We have a Welcome room, please pop in & introduce yourself
Resi Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 We live in Oklahoma it dosn't get real cold usually +/- 10 degrees of freezing and our summers are very hot and humid. And yes I want to wait for some time both my wife and I can introduce ourselves on your welcome forum.
judygram Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Max will adjust to your home temperature of whatever you are comfortable in he will be the same.
lovemyGreys Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Im sure Max will climitize to your home,I wish you well on bringing him home.Please feel free to update us, we would love to hear how he settles.

Johnny Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Not to sound like I am a know all person, but I can only speak for myself. When bringing home Monster from his warm surrounding, I raised my heat to the warmth he was brought up around, then within a week he was fine with the cooler surroundings of my home.
lovemyGreys Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Thanks for your input johnny,personal experiences are always a very valued contribution to a thread.
judygram Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 That sounds like it was the right thing to do, bring him in to the temperature he was used to then gradually lowering it until it reached your normal room temperature and it worked, excellent!!!
danmcq Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Half way to the weekend now Resi. Looking forward to seeing those photos!! :-)
