ive put in a bigger hide for Igbo as he was getting too small for his coconut,the problem is he hasnt come out all week that i know of and its feeding nite tommorow hes is usualy prowling the faun looking for his meal.is this normal his he maybe a bit stressed cos its bigger?also i moved him onto small rats this week and he took it no bother!! i asume the digestion process will be slower for a larger food item but that doesnt explain him not comming out for 5 days i have checked on him and he seems to be fine but i dont want to go in too much incase i sress him further
sorry about the legnth but the more i typed the more i thought to add lol xxx |

I know its quite soon, but if he's moved up food sizes its possible he's thinking about shedding again.
Also, it is getting cooler and darker, you may find that you don't see as much of him for the next few months. |

No probs, moss hides aren't always a necessity, I often forget to put one in or miss them going blue and they are almost always fine.
Glad your problem is solved (and your tea looked good  ) |

| You're lucky to get to watch it. If he needs the moss hide he'll use it, don't worry. |
