I make a big salad in the morning and feed him small bits throughout the day

Uh I only feed him once a day

I only started scattering his food as if I jest fed him one big salad he would sleep all day

Was just on another thread of a 4 month old hermann that weighs 55g!
That's what spud weighs, but he's 7 months!

I'm starting to panic

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

They do grow at considerably varying rates.
As long as Spud is constantly growing and putting on weight, I don't think there's call to panic.

 

[spud's_mum]

He's growing so fast!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Soon be trying to eat you!

In the first pic he was trying!

Well, I took spud outside. It was sunny until I stepped foot outside and it clouded over so we didn't stay out for long

[notice those cheeky smiles ]

Spud vs strawberry!





After destroying the piece of strawberry, he moved on to the nasturtium flower. Rip poor nasturtium and strawberry

Spud, what camera/phone do you use? I have a Nikon and can't get as good pics!

I use an iPhone
I normally take videos then pause it at the points I like and screen shot it

There's a very interesting thread over in the Sulcata section. DeanS got 3 little sulcata clutch mates: IT1, IT2 and IT3. He's recording their antics and growth, including lots of photos. The size difference between these babies is astonishing: although they all hatched out of the same clutch and receive identical care, IT1 is HUGE compared to IT2!!!
That thread is both useful and entertaining- you might check it out!
