Thank you all so much for your quick help!! You are the best! I will be getting some hay for Reggie this week. He is pretty agreeable to trying new things. Sometimes he is just in a mood and he actually shakes his head no and walks away. HaHa!!! Often he eats it the next day.
Thank you for your reply, Tammy. It is runny. It is not sudden. It's been like this for several months. I forgot to add that he also eats Mazuri. We adopted him 4 years ago when his original owner, our grandson, lost interest. We had by that time formed a bond with Reggie from 'babysitting'...
Reggie, our 8 year old Leopard, lives in a 10 x 11 bedroom here in Northeast Indiana. The Forum was great help to set it up. Every day we feed him moistened ZooMed Desert Tortoise pellets mixed with either Kapidolo Farms dried grasses, or Tortoise Supply Herbal tortoise hay, and wheat grass...
Thank you both very much. It's a huge help. You are the best!

Update on Reggie and his hide. When he chose to sleep in the corner instead of his new hide, I followed your advice and blocked the entryway to keep him in. I felt like a rat fink doing it and really hated the thought of repeating it. But after just one night, he got the hint and went in on his...
Thank you Yvonne. None of this could have happened without the help of the Forum. Tom , Wellington, team Gomberg, Jaziel, and many others are so knowledgeable and gave us great advice and help. Can’t thank you all enough!!
On Sunday we introduced Reggie to his new room. I do think he he is impressed 😃 As Wellington suggested, we set it up so the daytime oil radiator heater turns off at night and the VE radiant panel comes on in his hide. Both are on timers. The only problem is Reggie is choosing to sleep in the...
