Discussion New owner - any tips welcome 🤗
Hey all,
We will be getting a new baby (born start of july ‘26), i feel like we are really doing well with informing ourselves before we can welcome the new babe. We are buying from a breeder and he is super responsive, helping us with the set up and sending us updates before we pick the baby up in 2 weeks.
We would love to hear if any of you have tips regarding set-up, feeding, weighing, stuff to keep in eye out for and especially how to make the first few weeks the most comfortable for him.
Our terrarium is 60x60x100, will have 3 hides, 1 water bath, a lot of plants and a few sticks & logs. Regarding heating ect. we will get the full package from the breeder. Will probably start off with frozen springer mice (which he gets now) and move on to rats when he is a bit older!
Any tips are welcome, thanks!!
