They are looking positively monstrous. About how long are they as of now?

Re: Littlefoot & Cera (New video & pictures)

so I found that hiding night crawlers in the hollow spot proves interesting.

The hollow is just big enough to hide a worm or a fuzzy mouse inside it.

Drill a hole big enough for them to get an arm into... stick a pinky in it see what happens...

Re: Littlefoot & Cera (New video & pictures)

They (Littlefoot & Cera) are already displaying some behaviours that are not typical.

But then again, I don't keep mine "typical".....

Re: Littlefoot & Cera (New video & pictures)

Speaking of enrichment, apart from problems to solve like pinkies in a hole, I thought of another method to provide enrichment. Just stick in new stuff, particularly things with a scent. For instance, pieces of fruit. Just stuff that can't hurt them if they decide it looks tasty. Or you could hook a speaker up on the wall and play different sounds on it.. Quiet enough that they could only hear it when they got close to the speaker of course, so if they disliked it, they would be able to avoid it. Just some thoughts I had.

There is a Monitor in the UK that has his very own TV set.
