Hey folks,just an update on Rhino. Weighted him today and he is now 77 Grams. Not bad,I don't think. A while back,I purchased some seed from Sulcatafood.com. I think it was the medium size. I planted some in trays and it came up good. I had a problem giving it to Rhino. I thought to myself that this did not teach him foraging skills. So,I decided to try a spot within his closed enclosure to plant some directly in the coco coir. It came up and is like 4" tall. Well, I planted another little spot and it came up too and is 4". He loves it. He gets to decide for himself whether he wants spring mix,orchard grass hay,Mazuri(on occasion),or Zoo med grassland or the grass that is growing. I plan on planting more seed tomorrow to give him more and to also offer him shade and hide outs. He gets inside the middle of the patches and it's like he's saying,NA NA you can't find me. It's so funny.

If you look at his face,he reminds me of our kids when they were little. Well,what do you expect? Try eating with no hands and see how you fare.LOL
