Hello. I have a little Russian also named Sapphire. I'm waiting on some pictures of your little monkey ? One of the best care advice things I can tell you is don't put anything past them. If you put Storm on an open table and you should, make sure s/he can't furnagle a way to climb the wall. They will move furniture around to do that. Best wishes ☺️
Cathie, its October 2021 and somehow I missed your reply. Thanks! Because she arrived in a storm from FedX, thus her name. However, because she is a good eater I renamed her Miss Piggy. Shes been so much fun to watch. I made her an elevated platform to climb on for her indoor and outdoor habitats. There's a couple pics of her in media before and after her growth spurt in July. Currently I'm struggling with her wanting to brumate. Keeping temps up and bright light. Hope she gets over it soon. Not eating, makes me nervous. Any advise?
Yes just keep doing doing what you're doing. Put fresh food out every day and wake her up every now and then. I do let him have a bit of peace but not too much. Just regular care daily... He usually starts being more active and eating more around the end of December. By mid February he's begging to go outside but I can't let him. That's as hard as the trying to brumate time because he's so cute and I have to say no. Not yet.?
Same as you. ? It's kinda weird here with the weather. A lot of times we don't get the weather as bad as the surrounding areas though. There's even a big difference in temperature between my front and back yard. Also the other day the eastend of my city had high winds and I had nothing but rain. That was the day of all those tornadoes. I used to worry about him and the truth is I still do. But over the years I've grown kinda used to his slow times and don't worry quite as much. ?
As it turns out... it's a small world. We're very close to each other.
Yes it's one of my favorites of that area ? I'm going to have to look into Fluckers pellets. I like other things from them so maybe. Sapphire is so picky. He isn't refusing Mazuri LS on his salad though so far... maybe Fluckers now and then to change things up ?? slowly but surely ???
