    Norman at the Beach

    The beach is only a short walk so thought Norman might enjoy the sunshine with me! He had a good sunbathe and then took shade later on.

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to send an update a Norman, he's greatly improved and had a number of poops since I last wrote on here. He's been spending time with me in the garden on the lovely sunny days we've been having in the UK. He seems to be loving his new substrate (coco coir) been...

The vet suggested during the poorly period to use newspaper but I'm worried he'll try and...

    Thank you so much for your responses can't tell you how much it's appreciated. I'll see how things go with him and hopefully some more will pass through over the coming days. I've cancelled the appointment for now and will request one if things go bad again. Fingers crossed, thank you again!

    Impaction advice please!

    Hi everyone, I have a teeny little hermans (Norman) who has been impacted. First vet I went to was very calm, explained the situation and gave me lactulose (laxatives) and reptoboost for nourishment. Told me to bathe him and only feed him watery food with lactulose on it. If it hadn't cleared...
