My name is Michelle and this is my little one.. I do have Scooter established with an exotic Veterinarian already. I got Scooter on June. Scooter is an extremely picky eater.. Right now I chop up grass in with greens so Scooter gets those nutrients they get from grass. I use to have to mix Mazuri on with the greens of grass was mixed in just so Scooter would eat it but now i don't have to do that & I'm hoping eventually Scooter will eat grass on her own. ( YES i call Scooter a she because that's what I'm hoping for). Any way I do give Scooter Mazuri LS ama once in a while the larger pellet. I use teff pellets as well. I took Scooter to the Vet about a month ago because Scooter was opening her mouth a lot and i was afraid are was getting sick. Once there the Vet looked down her throat and told me the hay was irritating her throat and to stop giving the hay until she's older. I use to wet Romaine and roll it in the shake off the hay so Scooter was eating the lettuce and the hay that was stuck on the hay. Teff hay is very very fine so once in a while i soak it and mix it in with the Mazuri. In this mornings dish you see Scooter eating was Dandelion green, green leaf lettuce, zucchini & bok choy leaf and grass all chopped up.. I don't know if i should give did much in one dish but i like to make Scooter a salad. I feed Scooter in the morning at 9:00 and afternoon by 5:00. In between feedings scooter loves wandering jew purple flowers, polka dotted plant leaves, mexican petunia flower and wild evening primrose flower. Scooter HATES hibiscus which i have two huge hibiscus plant that now look like a tree. I have a 20ft cactus pear which Scooter loves but i haven't given the fruit on it just the pad. I soak Scooter every day for at least 5 minutes but for 15-20 minutes every other day. I have an outdoor enclosure that's above ground and predator proof that Scooter is in all day from 10:00Am to 4:30Pm. I live in Florida so Scooter gets that humid sunshine every day. I have two water dishes in the enclosure , a hide shelter, one side hay and other side organic dirt. I want to know how you think Scooter looks. On 7-3-2020 Scooter weighed 64 grams and on 9-3-2020 Scooter weighed 120 grams. Thank you all so much for any feed back..
