Me too, we like him.

Please remove posting. I've started getting international spam texts, I'll just have to figure something else out.

Mikey will eat anything you put in front of him, lol.

Life plans change and in the next 6-12 months mine will be too. We'll be out of the country more often than not and will not have anyone to take care of Mikey. He is around 5 months old, no way to know for sure, weighed in at 253 g this morning and was 4¼" long. I know this is still early but...

Update - Mikey swapped from mazuri original to mazuri LS with no problem at all, I'd say he likes it better.

I haven't went that in depth. I just measure length sometimes, weight once a week and set out enough food I think it will last until I get back home. Sometimes food is left, sometimes it isn't. Edit: Mine has been eating slightly moistened mazuri original pellets for a couple of months. They...

I've read it's safe to eat. If the grass gets old enough to produce seeds they are not edible due to high protein levels. Mine loves chia too.

Most of mine is too, anything safe to eat anyway. That's why I'm growing the rye grass in the house. It grows really fast with the heat and humidity of the enclosure. I can give him a fist full of it about every 3rd day, besides that he's getting the mazuri along with collard greens and bok...

He can eat a pile of rye grass nearly as big as he is in about 5 minutes. He mostly just sleeps or whatever he does in his burrow, I can't really see him. He's awake and waiting for food before 5 am (I leave at 4:30-4:45) so I leave him some mazuri and something green and the weekday mornings...

Thanks, I'm trying. From the looks of the chart he's getting ready for another growth spurt.

Here is a chart showing his growth.

Below is a picture of when we first got Mikey and a picture from today. Does he seem to be growing better than he was?

You might also remind him that Sulcatas don't hibernate, they're not from an area where they need to. If they have time to read it, Tom's guide will answer any questions.

It's also a good idea to keep a check on the forecast when it's unusually warm for the season, it can drop like a rock with little warning. This is for my area over the next several days.

Yeah, it was orange, it was probably a different material. I like fixing things too.
