Quick question about my tegy? I have had him since saturday..finally persuaded him to eat a quarter of a strawberry today...im worried about him, im used to boscs who will eat ANYTHING!! ALso he buries himself under his substrate and its always down the cool end of his viv. and always seem cool when i get him out...am i doing something wrong or do i have a shy little man, who needs more time to get comfortable!!

Hiya chucky
Just leave him to settle a tad longer, only one of mine will eat fruit & veg at the mo, and thats fig only. Mine seem to enjoy sprats mor that anything, also have salmon, trout, scrambled egg there adore.

Right my turn, someone has just come to my door with a baby bosc...who i think hasn't had the right heat as she has a bloated belly...looks like its her food has not digested properly any quick tips...ive got her in a bowl of warm water now to see if it stimulates her to empty her bowels, and im setting up the nursery viv for her to house in til i can sort his viv out!!

[Chuckwalla]

I was recommended by my vet, to give them a syringe of cod liver oil, to stimulate bowel movements.
If you have a lactose your could also try that, when my White throat was poorly early in the year thats what I was to treat her oraly every other night.
Other than that mate, I could only advise a shoulder heighgt warm bath

PM Monitor Mad, he will now some tricks. That man is a starr
