Hi Everyone,
Technically, I'm not a newbie as I've posted about my poorly baby Russian who sadly didn't make it. Just couldn't help posting about our surprise new Herman.....a lady three streets away was wanting to urgently rehome him as her daughter was going to University and couldn't take him. He's three years old and a total character!
First night we had him out for a soak and a walk around and he was in my daughter's doll house re-arranging furniture and pushing the toy car around the room. I've found he liked to scratch himself along the bookshelf and loves ramming the cupboard door.
I know he's got a bit of pyramiding on his shell so he's in an vivarium so we can keep the moisture in the air up. Had him on the coco substrate but this made him sneeze and scratch his eyes so swapped back to what his last Mum had him on (grass pellets) which I know are not the ideal but he's happy on them and I want him to settle in and keep everything familiar for now. He has mostly just been fed pellets to date so I am trying to temp him with actual green stuff and he's not that into it. I have planter trays full of dandelion and clover and he's not interested. A planter tray full of cress did the trick though.
He's already flashed me so I definitely know he's a boy! Love him so much already.
