Same as mine at that age. It was about ten days before he was out at seven instead.

The size recommendations really have moved. What I was told years ago would be considered cruel now.

Coming out at 9pm in week one is a good sign. Leave him to it and no handling for the first week.

No point needed. This is exactly the post people need to see in week two when they think it is not working.

Congratulations. The day they choose to sleep on you is the day it all pays off.

She looks so pleased with herself, that expression is the whole reason we keep them.

Shallow is the key bit. I tried a deep one first and he would not use it at all.

Watch the salt content on those. Some brands are much saltier than others.

Mine drinks noticeably more from the dish as well. I only noticed how little he used the bottle after switching.

Hemp held shape much longer in my cage. Paper collapsed overnight every time.

Twice a week is about right for a Syrian. For a dwarf I would go once.

Mine gets one piece twice a week and is still climbing into my hand for it, so it seems about right.
