So two days ago was potato’s last dose of meds! Vet said stop them after one week of no crusts (as long as it’s been over 45 days). My goodness the meds must’ve had her feeling gross, this morning Potato ate 23 crickets and a hornworm!!! We haven’t seen him eat that much since we started the...

For every other day we’re using these generic animal cleaning wipes that we had for cleaning our hamsters tank. Weekly we soak in very hot water and betadine for about an hour. And wipe the inside with cleaning vinegar let it sit and then wipe with hot water after about 30 mins. I’ve never...

So we recently upgraded Potato to a 120 gallon PVC (about a week ago) and they are just ALWAYS a little stressed. Potato also tends to just sit on the top of their tree and not do anything except during feeding time. They poop regularly (so not impacted) and are very active when free roaming...
