I just changed pokeys bedding to dirt/ peat moss from aspen. but once again, he is flipping. he never did that with the aspen. he is in a 5' kiddie pool. the bedding is flat. what do I do? he can't flip back over by himself. do I go back to aspen until he gets older? please advise

pokey is now about 6 wks of age. I got him at 1 wk. when I got him he was only about 2 1/4" and 55 grams. today I did his weigh-in and he was 95 grams. I was curious so I measured him. he is now 3". would that be classified as slow or fast growth. I am aware that they all grow at different...

Not sure how to send a picture with my phone or iPad but I will try since I don't have a computer. Pokey, ( calling it a he), still has his egg tooth, so I'm guessing him to be under 2 wks if what I'm reading is correct. He is full of energy and is eating like a horse. I picked him up yesterday...
