I’ve just adopted a young cubone, it was abandoned, what do I need to know about caring for the little guy?
Cubone are mostly scavengers, and are omnivorous, so generic omnivorous kibble should help provide all the nutrients it needs, although you may wish to supplement this with fresh fruit, veggies, and meat, especially as it ages.
Space-wise, make sure it has access to sand and rocks. Cubone clean themselves with dust baths, and they tap rocks as a way to communicate. This can even be a form of enrichment for the little guy. If you develop codes for different things, you can use a hammer or similar tool to tap at rocks in the area, and Cubone may eventually use them to as for things like food, water, or playtime! I would also recommend some light combat training, since without it Cubone won’t be as fit or strong as it needs to be to evolve at a regular time. Good luck with him!
