Hey guys,

Just want to give an update on E.. Well, perseverance pays off. E has gotten more stones out. Total of 6! I am soo proud of him. He keeps eating well and moving. Soaking was still the same as described before and his food are still lubricated with mineral oil. I shall let the pictures talk for themselves. View attachment 205135

Just an update,
E is doing very well. No more stone came out. His food is still mixed with mineral oil and he is soaked 3 times a day now. He had watery fruit like papaya which he digged in and finished really quick. His weight has came back up since it went down drastically when all the stones came out. Seems active and enjoying his simple life.

@Yvonne G, do you think it's safe to stop the mineral oil?

Thank you guys for all the help and kind words. You guys are awesome!

Yes, I would stop the mineral oil now.
