    From very slow to super active!?

    Thanks so much for this insight. I am very late on replying because he has settled down. He is still out and waiting for his breakfast daily like clockwork but he isn't running laps anymore. We have replaced his normal red-leaf lettuce with a mix of that and dandelion now that we found a...

    From very slow to super active!?

    I just don't understand his newfound energy. Today we switched from red leaf lettuce and collards to some dandelion. He ate it up and has been running around is "home" all morning. Like yesterday he will likely settle down soon for the rest of the day but it's just weird. Is he just bored?

    From very slow to super active!?

    Thanks very much for the suggestion! I'll have to check it out at the store. Anyone have any experiences with very active russians like I described?

    From very slow to super active!?

    Does it just sit in there or did you attach it somehow (tape)?

    From very slow to super active!?

    Hi all, It has been a long time since posting, mostly because Journey's 2nd year with us was pretty easy. All the uncertainties and questions of the first year were no problem this past year. I do have a question though: Around November, Journey became very lethargic, which I assumed...

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    Continuing to do well. Eating (for the most part), making appearances a few times a day. I think we're good :) Thanks everyone for their amazing help!

    I GOT MY BABY <3333

    Concur. We got ours at PetSmart (not Petco) but same story - parasites.[hr] Can you elaborate on how a glass enclosure can cause respiratory problems?

    Wow, never heard of this before. He usually leaves it alone and it dries up.

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    GREAT NEWS! 2 days in a row now, Journey has cleaned his plate! He's also back to sleeping in his log and not burying himself in the new corner he's been favoring. He's also back to making an appearance a few times a day - morning, late afternoon, and night. Seems like good ol' Journey...

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    Thanks, no problem! Well, he apparently did eat most of his greens on Friday morning! And he is still coming out every night like clockwork - he comes out in the morning, then comes out again around midnight. Funny guy. No bathroom evidence yet - may soak him today to see what happens.

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    Interesting though. Well, I think we had confirmation earlier in the Spring that he is a boy, with an embarassing episode of my wife thinking his insides were falling out when it turned out to be Journey showing us he isn't a baby anymore... Unless that happens with females too, we're pretty...

    Hi there. I have remembered your suggestion but haven't gotten to it with work and evening classes. But yes I plan on doing so this evening. Thanks for the reminder!

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    More of the same this morning, with a twist. He was restless walking back and forth in his home, up against the glass. I decided to soak him (why not?) and he was his usual self during that time. I put him back in his home, and more of the same. I even put him in front of his food...

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    Typically he will go to the bathroom once a week or so in his home, with the rest coming out when we soak him (gets the body moving, I guess). Last week he went a couple of times in his home, therefore it wasn't surprising when he didn't go during his last soak because he was probably "all...

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    GREAT idea about offering just a little food to be able to observe it better. Thanks! Makes total sense.

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    Hmm interesting. Well, only the back side of the terrarium is covered with a background of desert (my wife wanted a theme). The other 3 sides are open because she likes to see him. But maybe we should cover them up, at least while he is being active (stressed?) like this?

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    Glass terrarium because when we got Journey in Oct 2009 we didn't know what we know now. Its very large, and ever since we moved his hiding log to the center about half a year ago he loves it. He climbs over it, buries himself in little holes in the substrate, sleeps inside the log, basks on...

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    We soak him once a week. And regarding red-lead lettuce, he's always cleared his plate with no problem. At night our home gets to about 68 or 70 degrees (F), but his heat bulb keeps the night time between 75 and 85, and his daytime full spectrum keeps it about 80 on the cool end and 95 or so...

    Very Active...But Not Eating?

    Hi all, Its been awhile, mostly because Journey has been doing pretty well. Over the last year or so he's really developed a personality of his own. (We've only had him a little over a year). His behavior has changed from his normal style in the last couple of weeks and thought it best...

    Journey, the interior designer

    pretty late but here you go. He moved the water dish off from the glass, flipped the food dish over, and nudged the log out from the corner.
