He Looks Really Healthy At Least Its Not A Grotesque Pyramiding

 

[Alaskamike]

The pyramiding appears to have stabilized. At least not getting worse. It may be as he ages it will become less noticeable.

I just love the spurs on Tiny's front legs. You can really see how they are built to dig. So far he's been happy to just use the cave I made for him and not dug his own. All winter he has been happy to use his heated hide box. With summer coming it will be interesting. To see if he returns to the tunnel.
He did this thing yesterday - when he peed I noticed a protrusion come out ... Ah... It looked like his penis? I don't know. I was so surprised I didn't think to get a pic.

Is it possible that's what it was ? It stayed out only a short time then went back in. He didn't even act embarrassed - but he's such a show off anyway. Hahaha

Yup - he's shown you his manhood!!

 

[Alaskamike]

Thanks Yvonne.
I thought that was the case. Well..... It's "Mister Tiny" from now on. Lol.
