    Hard dry poop

    Got the hygrometer. The humidity is 67% in the Open-top box, 70 is recommended. So once we get the perspex sheet his box will probably turn into a steam bath.

    Hard dry poop

    He's just pooped out two portions of the hard poo. They were greenish brown. He had to strain a lot again and farted a lot before they came out.

    Hard dry poop

    He made another dry poop in his afternoon bath yesterday. Nothing yet this morning.

    Hard dry poop

    PS: it is possible that he ate some of the moss. I'll remove it.

    Hard dry poop

    I've measured the spare room. He can have an enclosure a little bigger than 8x4. I've asked some carpenters for a quote. Haha, he'll get lost in there. He's only the size of a medium potato.

    Hard dry poop

    The one with the logs is not his enclosure. It's his playground, he spends an hour or two climbing in there, one to 5 times a week depending on our availability. He doesn't have constipation as such. In fact, he has been pooping loads... It's just that some of his turds were huge and drier than...

    Hard dry poop

    Yes, I was thinking 4x8 minimum. I will measure the spare room tonight and tell you what is the biggest we can go. His dad is terribly upset about the change, I think he's a tortoise, too [emoji23]

    Hard dry poop

    I've got an idea: I'll get a carpenter to make his adult sized enclosure for him and then he'll be sorted once and for all.

    Hard dry poop

    Yes, I want to make him a bigger enclosure out of a book shelf, I'm trying to convince his dad. He does have the playground as well for exercise, but I've been badgering his dad about the book shelf for a while. I've just ordered a perspex sheet and a hygrometer.

    Hard dry poop

    I think I could get him some perspex sheets to cover everything except under the lamp. In other news, he's just nearly choked 'to death' on the cucumber that I gave him for his bum. Opened his mouth wide and said squee, stretched his neck out, did a dance... It was horrible. I'll always handfeed...

    Hard dry poop

    He's just made this poop which is harder than what he normally makes, but not as bad as the dry one that nearly bust his tail yesterday. He passed this on his own without help.

    Hard dry poop

    This is his enclosure. It can't be closed-top and can't have plants because he is silly and we need to be able to see him with a webcam when we're out. He falls over at the slightest provocation, sometimes even without any obstacles. E. G. He had a bit of substrate on his nose and tried to bite...

    Hard dry poop

    Yes, he has a big enclosure and also an indoor playground with a hill, a log etc. He does march around vigorously :), except when he is constipated and would most need it. I'll try the hydrated romaine lettuce.
