List required supplies
Gather enclosures, temperature control equipment, lighting, food, and other essentials.

Consult the breeder
Use BreederDirect's messaging to confirm care details with the breeder before purchase.
It's important to have the habitat ready before your 小動物 arrives. Complete the setup in advance so you're not scrambling on arrival day.
Prepare equipment to maintain proper temperature ranges for 小動物. Heaters, coolers, and thermostats may be needed.
Set up appropriate lighting for 小動物. Use timers if photoperiod management is required.
Choose an enclosure suited to your 小動物's size and activity level. Consider adult size as well.
Prepare equipment to maintain proper water quality or humidity for 小動物. Plan for regular maintenance.
Open the package as soon as your 小動物 arrives and check its condition. Open carefully to minimize stress.
Slowly acclimate your 小動物 to the habitat temperature. Sudden temperature changes cause significant stress.
Once acclimated, transfer your 小動物 to the prepared habitat.
Verify your 小動物 is in good condition and press the "Confirm Arrival" button on BreederDirect to complete the transaction.
The first week is crucial for your 小動物 to adjust to its new environment. Watch for the following key points.
Let your 小動物 rest in a quiet environment. Minimize handling and observation to reduce stress.
Start offering small amounts of food while monitoring your 小動物's appetite, activity, and overall health.
As your 小動物 settles in, begin regular care routines including feeding, water changes, and temperature monitoring.
Important Notes After Arrival
If you notice any health issues during the first week, contact the breeder immediately via messaging. Our support team can also assist before arrival confirmation.
In addition to the specimen price, you'll need equipment (enclosure, tank, temperature control, etc.). We recommend messaging the breeder for specific cost estimates.
Difficulty varies by species. Ask breeders for beginner-friendly recommendations and refer to our care guides to prepare.
You can directly consult the breeder/grower you purchased from via BreederDirect's messaging feature for expert advice.
