Crocodile rolls

[fuzzhc]

Just thought i'd share this as I found it quite cool lol.
To give my little guy some exercise and something to do I have suspended a peg on some string to hang his food from. I came in the other day to find him dangling there and seen as this is only the second time I have actually witnessed him eating, thought might aswell film it. I must have put the mouse on too tight but atleast he figured out how to get it off :D

Ps this is a temporary viv till the new one gets built.

I like mate. I think they should have to work a little bit for there food nice video and what's wrong with the enclosure its in?

[fuzzhc]

Cheers. Its just too small at about half the size of what it should be. Even though hes still small he should have an enclosure of 8x4x4, didnt know when I first got him though.

The brute force attack eh? Preferred by monitors everywhere.

I wouldnt worry so much about the sq footage of floor space as I would the depth of your substrate. Thats the more pressing issue.

[fuzzhc]

Indeed!

The substrate depth is at about 8inches there and holds a burrow and humidity fine although yesterday I dug up about 3 inches of dirt from the back garden to put in. Gonna add some more nearer the weekend probably though I know its not enough but dont really want to cover up his existing burrows.
