Hi lin So the antibiotics have to be put in through his mouth and since he is so little the vet doesn’t recommend injecting him each time, so we have to make him open his mouth in order to get him to take it but he just isn’t having it.

Re: Dietary issues

Hi guys,

So we brought Clyde to the vet and got him antibiotics for him. Although we are having difficulty in making him take them. We have tried feeding him some lettuce or fruit but he just doesn’t want any. Any ideas on how to make him open his mouth in order to take his antibiotics?

Thanks!

With the vivarium it did cost a lot to buy it but there are vents on the top and bottom corners in the back so I’m not sure if that helps or not. I will take time out and read those articles you added in. I was originally goin...

Re: Winter

Hi Nina thanks for the reply! Entertainment wise I was reading things online and got a good few stuff that I can use for enjoyment such as twigs and all. The spare bedroom thing you said sounds like a good idea to me too, I have made a play area filled of fake grass and wooden walls for them that ca...
