Default Re: Nugget's thread

I gave Nugget a bit of Newt's birthday cake last night - put it out with his food - he got quite excited about it and it's gone now.

Nugget has been going up onto his shelf a lot recently - I am not sure what that is about. There is nothing on the shelf except the piece of hemp mat as I moved his sand bath and food bowl to floor level quite a while ago. And was intending to remove the shelf as he isn't that steady walking/balance wise. There are quite a few poops on the shelf though so maybe he's decided it is a place to poop.

I still want to remove the shelf but I am not sure he will like that now! He is having normal behaviour and I think the Metacam helps but he does still walk as if he is "guarding" his stomach - with his back legs tucked under a bit more. And the lumps do seem to stop him walking straight on the substrate. He moves around quickly still but overbalances a bit sometimes.
