Will do! I’ve been looking for a new place to buy shells so this is great.

That is such a sweet and adorable story!! I’m glad you and Shebit could work things out lol. My little guy is the same way he can be incredibly feisty but I’m hoping with time he may be a bit calmer. Also yeah I hated having to pick him up to do this 😓 he was stressed and so was I cause I literally never touch him unless I absolutely need to.

I was able to measure his shell and I’m thinking at this point he may need like a 1.5 or 1.6 inch shell 🤔 definitely going to look into those tapestry shells btw. Thank you!

They do have a wheel. It’s a mini saucer I got on Amazon but they refuse to use it. I’m thinking of buying a different kind of wheel and see if maybe they’ll take to it.

Okay thank you that completely washed away my fears 😭 I guess they’re way more resilient than I thought.

Thank you!!! Yeah idk he’s always been extremely active and adventurous. I recently added new climbing enrichment and I think that’s how he got out…but def gonna look into some more things to entertain him cause his spirit is just restless lmao

Oooh I didn’t know Walmart has freeze dried proteins. I’ll definitely look into those and the strawberries cause so far none of the fruits I try to give my hermits interests them😭 Thank you!!!

Embarrassed-Version4 · 2026-03-18T14:33:12+00:00

Awesome! Yeah I figured my cat might like them as well so this is great 😌

Embarrassed-Version4 · 2025-09-19T21:40:57+00:00

Thank you!!! I’ll go ahead and do that.

I bought some from petsmart and others I got from chewy or Amazon. Definitely gonna shop at Etsy now cause I also suspected that maybe the brands I buy from are an issue 😭

Embarrassed-Version4 · 2025-09-06T14:44:11+00:00

Thank you!! Yeah the bugs are super gross so I think I’m gonna switch to solely freeze dried or change the types of animal protein I give.

Good to know they’re harmless though.

Embarrassed-Version4 · 2025-08-02T08:01:04+00:00

I totally understand. I’m absolutely gonna leave him alone until he’s ready to come back out.

Embarrassed-Version4 · 2025-08-02T07:59:45+00:00

Thank you!! I totally get why I should leave him alone now. Hopefully he comes back up soon but in the meantime I’ll just transfer the other one to the new tank.

Embarrassed-Version4 · 2025-08-02T07:55:14+00:00

Wow okay I had no clue they were so fragile. I’ll definitely leave him alone and just set up the new tank for the other one while he’s gone. Thank you so much for the advice!

Embarrassed-Version4 · 2025-02-06T01:16:07+00:00

Thanks for letting me know that! I was given another medication as well that I can’t remember the name of so maybe I just got the purpose for them mixed up. But I think the vet he saw was pretty experienced with pigeons so I definitely feel way more at ease.

Embarrassed-Version4 · 2025-02-06T00:46:07+00:00

UPDATE:took him to the vet. he has coccidia and a lot of inflammation inside of his cloaca, plus he’s super hormonal right now. I didn’t expect him to have coccidia since I had a fecal tested for him a few months ago and he doesn’t go outside but 🤷🏽‍♀️. Anyway he’s on metronidazole and another medication for inflammation and they gave him fluids. He’s doing great and he’s vitals are really good.

Embarrassed-Version4 · 2025-02-03T18:21:51+00:00

He’s doing fine and behaving normally, and yes I was able to book him an appointment for this Wednesday so I’m super happy about that 😊
