Went and picked him up yesterday! Gave him a bath as soon as we got back. He seemed a little confused and distressed at first but after a few minutes he calmed down and ended up drinking a LOT of the water. Had 3 poos so I’m guessing he enjoyed it. He’s yet to explore most of the enclosure and has slept most of the time that he’s been here. Luckily he’s ate a bit of food so isn’t living off an empty stomach. Didnt seem like he was very fussed about what he was eating which i am pleased with. I’ll be updating on this thread quite often and so people can come on this journey with me

No photos?

I’ve got loads of videos but barely any photos and i’ve just found out you can’t upload videos! The first two photos are of him seeing the outside for the first time in my back garden. The other 2 are in the smaller bathing container that i have. The normal one i use is way too big for him and i’m waiting on a medium ish size one which is getting delivered in 2 days i think. I keep close eyes on him all the time to make sure he isn’t escaping. I’m sure in the last photo he was either mesmerised or confused by the reflection of the light lol

update time! He’s slowly becoming more and more energetic and intrigued by everything. We brang him outside for around 20 minutes yesterday and he loved it so much. Probably will be the only time he’ll be outside till it start warming up. He hadn’t pooed in a day or 2 though but that was quickly fixed with a small amount of cucumber and the size of the poo was absolutely astonishing for the size of him. Haven’t seen any bad signs so far and it already looks like he’s starting to get bigger and healthier. He definitely seems a lot happier than during the first day thats for sure

I'm confused. This thread was started by lucy1979 and when Lucy was asked for photos, alyssaacurtis put up photos. What gives?
