Sometimes my Geronimo burrows and sometimes he doesn't. He's a moody little thing LOL.

You can buy them that way but most people I know use a dehydrator which works great. I have done dandelion leaves.

LOL I also give my Hermann freshh Hibiscus but for some reason never thought of dried in the off season.

Yes you can and Geronimo loves it. I actually grow a few small pans of it and stick them in his habitat and he just goes nuts over it. I do small pans because he cleans it up pretty quick and I don't want him to overstuff himself LOL. Plus I want him to eat other foods too.

Has anyone fed there Hermanns dried hibiscus leaves??

I don't give very much at a time and not that often. When I do it's a few pellets mixed in with his weeds. To me I treat it more like a treat than a meal. I have tortoise pellets and now Mazuri readily on hand during the winter months just in case for some reason I start running low on the...

Yeah the 72 number didn't sound right to me. I was just kind of concerned if it started getting below 60 in the area of the house he is in. I pretty sure it won't, but it also depends on when we decide to get the furnace going. I really don't want to do night time heat unless we have to. I...

Doing research and I get conflicting info on temps at night and what's to low. Anywhere from 72 is to low to as low as 50 is fine which is quite a difference. Geronimo is doing good, he has been a little slower to get going in the mornings now that it is cooler but he makes sure he makes...

Looking for experienced opinions. What are the best thoughts/ideas on night time heat. Our weather here is starting to cool down. For us humans it's nice but not cool enough for us to turn on the furnace but it also means cooler in the house. I have been keeping on eye on Geronimo's...

Lol

Does anyone elses little one use their food dish as a restroom???

Yeah I have been reading the LS isn't the greatest LOL

I never thought of that. Good idea.

With fall coming on and my natural outside food selection supply for Geronimo is starting to dwindle I am looking at some other variety food options. Yes I have lots of things planted indoors for the winter months but looking for an addition so I don't go through the indoors plants to quick and...
