Well we moved the wicking bed outside and replaced it with an indoor closed chamber set up. Both RFs have been very active and eating well. I have been feeding them a variety of leaves and weeds including grape leaves from a grape vine my daughter and I discovered out on a walk! Romaine Carrot tops and spring mix seem to be the only "leafy greens" they enjoy they also eat a mix of veggies carrots mushrooms snap green beans and mazuri once a week and melon and cantaloupe twice a week. They do drink from the water dish and Sunni even lays outs (its so cute) in the dish as well... They both seem to use it for a pooping spot smh.... We are on 24/7 water replacement duty around here! I'm thinking about adding something larger in circumference not depth to give them more room to wade around they seem to enjoy the water! We do daily soaks for now. I'm keeping hydration in mind because it gets HOT in Texas and we do spend time outdoors. The plan for early summer is to get a nice outdoor enclosure set up probably just going to use the wicking bed. And create a better closed indoor chamber (Anyfoots really blew me away) I've learned so much reading through the forum and other suggested reading! Also They arrived May 2
I weighed them for the first time May 15
Sheldyn 52g
Sunni 50g
I weighed them again today May 21
Sheldyn 53g
Sunni 51g
Of course I will keep notes and remember to take into account factors that can affect the weigh ins....
Sidenote... I have a climber Sunni climbs everything indoors and outdoors. They both dig tunnels and bury themselves.

So far so good?

Bury your plant pots so half of them are under the substrate, this way they can dig in inside the plant pots, they also like to feel confined in hides. Looks good.

Thanks! The wicking bed is a mess right now with all the rain we are getting. Ill be sure to bury those outdoor pots deeper. Sunni actually dug a tunnel under the green one from one side to the other that he/she prefers to hide out in and walk through smh!
