almost one year ago, I joined this forum because we planned to order our first sully right after the first of the year. It is almost time to celebrate Igloo's birthday! When we purchased him, we were told he was a yearling (and paid higher for a yearling) but he was in fact, only a few months old. At six months old he weighed half a pound. Now at 11 months, he weighs in at 2 pounds! We are trying to keep him on slow and steady growth - maybe this was just a growth spurt...but I'm concerned he's growing too quickly. He eats a mix of at least 5 different greens daily including kale, radicchio, romain, collards, cucumber, spinach, okra, squash, cactus, aloe, arugula, orchard grass or Timothy hay. The portion is as big as he is but he rarely finishes it. I occasionally try to give him a little mazuri or zoo med but he doesn't really like either. He's on moist coir, gets a cuttle bone and calcium supplements, daily soaks for 20-30mins and one weekly soak at 45 mins. Heat lamps and UVB are all good. We've backed the humidity down a little but it's still in the 72-77% range since high than that means we end up heading back to the Vet...which leads to more shots...which means Igloo hates me for at least 24 hours. Does his weight sound like its on track? I need ideas for a larger hide. He's outgrown 2 and I don't think plastic under the bed tote is going to last another six months!
That is Patchouli who snuck into his bed while the cat barrier was down. The cats like the heat and Igloo doesn't seem to mind them - but they are never left together unsupervised!
