Rhino update

[scottishscott]

Well folks, Rhino is one week away from being ten months old. He is doing great. I weighed him today and he is now 160 grams. He eats like a Rhino too. Thanks to Tom and everybody when we first got him, he is turning out to be really smooth and growing steadily. Here's some pics from today.

Sinyo, I use coco coir for my substrate. I water it until wet twice a day, once in the morning and at night after his light goes off.

The humidity stays around 80% most of the time, but never falls below 50%.

The temp is 85 on cool side and 100 on hot side. The temps at night is 85.

I feed him a big handful of spring mix in the morning first thing. Every other day I add a big heaping of Zoomed grassland tortoise with this. He also goes outside daily for his D3 and exercise. While he's outside, he freely grazes. I've also started giving him hibiscus flowers and leaves every other day.

I also spritz his shell several times daily.

Hope this helps.
