Hi all!

Thought i'd upload photos of my own enclosure whilst i had the opportunity to photo it when it's tidy! Because I'm sure you all know that doesn't last long when they're awake! haha

Feel free to leave feedback or suggestions x

Hiya Laura

Yeah there is, its on a stand on the outside of his enclosure that i have just moved away whilst i opened the lid and was cleaning him out haha.

I have since added some little pebbles for him to walk across but he just seems to be nibbling at them. Is that a problem or is he just curious? he's very greedy so i think he thinks its some sort of food! lol

He will probably be just testing out this new addition with their mouths, like babies do, however if they are easily digestible little stones then I'd probably remove them. He could also be wearing his beak down on something, which is why feeding off a slate is good and they like having a good knaw on cuttlefish .

they're pretty big stones - about an inch in length. he also has cuttlefish to knaw on and he has a slate for his food as well as a food bowl, he tends to eat off the slate more though.
