Don't panic. If you put a baby RF into an enclosure big enough for an adult, He'll go "MISSING". It will dig and hide in the moss and sleep all day and night long. For this reason I keep my babies in a baby sized enclosure. It's easier to make sure he eats and has access to water and I can see his general condition.....An enclosed terrarium makes an excellent place to start out a RF hatchling. It's super easy to keep up the humidity, too!
