Re: PP's Burr

Yup, she's been eating like champ. Although not as piggy like as our ceylons, who would explode if you let them. She doesn't want to pick food of the sand that she dropped though, so we have to make sure things are bite sized for her. We also use chopsticks to hold the food until she comes and gets ...

Re: Porcupine Puffer

Re: Chomper from a 20g to a 75g !

You want to keep the tank pretty full with decor. It will help him feel safe. But they will usually do the pacing routine when they are in new surroundings.
