Hello and Congrats on the new baby. He's very tiny, looks maybe a month to 6 weeks old. How long is he? Be sure to keep him hydrated, babies can dehydrate really easy, a warm bath everyday will do the trick. Keep putting a variety of fresh veggies daily, and sooner or later he will get curious and try them. pick up small pinches of the veggies and let them drop onto the dish, that will sometimes perk some interest. He's a cutie.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
