Hello Neal my homie, feeding is very simple, Lights come on at 5 a.m. Mazuri is provided by 5:30, 7:00 a.m they go outside (weather permitting) 5 p.m. they come in and soak 20 min cactus is then provided I also feed cactus in they early afternoon when outdoor time is not permitted.

First off, this isn't John....I can see in the first picture that it is a windup toy, haha. Seriously, he is huge. I believe that Humphrey is his clutch mate (right Paul?) and he is just now showing a little white growth. How much did John weight when you first got him. Humphrey was 35 grams and I though he was big. As soon as he comes inside I am going to weight him again and will post the comparison. Also interested in your feeding. He eats Mazuri every day? I have only been feeding it about every other day with lots of Spring mix, cactus, and baby food squash, and I know that Humphrey grazes while outside on grasses.

LOL, Yeah he gets mazuri everyday, grazes and cactus, no store bought stuff in the summer, I only feed that when grazing is not available.

That makes sense. I am amazed when Humphrey can eat a whole piece of Mazuri all by himself and still have room for anything else. But he does. He is a good eater too.
