Nice, congrats! Sounds about right and I imagine your little one will be like that for a while too.

Nice! I have some terrarium grass and dandelions growing in mine that they seem to leave alone spare the occasional nibble. I have some potted pothos growing out so I can can clip and propagate it for their hutch as well.
So I was thinking of adding a greenhouse tent over my enclosure, my humidity is hovering around 80 -85% but I put about a galleon of water into his enclosure daily and it's pretty swampy, not really sure how good that is for him. With a greenhouse tent I could keep his substrate dryer without sacrificing humidity levels
@jsheffield LOVE those babies!!!!
I've been using Google drive to track my babies, but I like your charts better!

It's no worries at all. I think this thread stopped being solely about mine a while ago and any transgression is immediately forgiven with Tort pictures! ?
