he had a nibble at a sow thistle flower/bud the flower was massive to him I think two petals filled him up, he's also had his first attempt at digging but tried at the back of the pot so didn't have much luck, he's got such tiny little legs. I'm never going to get anything done anymore and I keep telling myself thats he's got to be sold but thats going to be extremely hard.

The tiny spindly back legs are ace aren't they! They are so small. Make my redfoots sound like monsters as they hatch at usually around 37g! Smallest was 23g and I thought they were small!

Beautiful littel baby. He'll be storming all around that table and digging anywahere inappropriate before you know it!

Aww, do you really have to sell? I doubt I could! I can imagine my OH trying to convince me we needed to, and me just not listening, and keeping it, cos I usually get my own way about the beasties in the end

Besides, it keeps him out of mischief, getting to use his tools to build things for them
