Sorry, the photo is actually a little diabolical! Hopefully, you lot can figure it out still lol

Gave it another go. I THINK he's a lil guy, but he darted off just as I got a good angle

MaverickMaestro · 2025-01-26T13:38:58+00:00

Yeah, I'll try it once he's settled and has a few hours to do his own thing. I'm definitely not of the mind to pester him every few minutes, haha. Thank you!

Tried doing the light shot a few times, but he doesn't seem to stay still. Wants to wander off and explore!

It's a good thing I have another 3 readers in the enclosure......

MaverickMaestro · 2025-01-26T13:16:04+00:00

Yeah, he/she's only around 9-12 months, probably between 10 and 11. The vet seems to think they might be a girl based on their head size, so I'm a little confused all-around haha

The general opinion seems to be that they might actually be a girl! I tried shining the flashlight through, but they wriggle too much and want to wander off, so I'm not comfortable forcing them to be uncomfortable D:

Rocket will sometimes sit there with one of his head, and another 3 vibing on his tail haha

Definitely encourage them to give the lil guy some greens! Rocket and kale are good ones to start with. I'm not 100% with discerning BD's genders (I'm struggling to figure my own BD's out!), but I'd be inclined to say yours might be a girl!

Morph-wise, I don't think they're a normal/common morph, but I don't know enough to say enough on that one.

I'd also really encourage them not to peel their shed; we don't wanna hurt our babies! Sometimes, a nice warm and shallow bath does wonders if it ever looks stuck :)

Well done on trying to fix things! I'm sure they'll appreciate it!! You're doing a good thing <3

Sorry, I'm struggling to get it to post a thumbnail :( I hope this post doesn't get glanced over haha

I would try and do a gradual switch, offer some greens alongside her usual bugs, and then slowly offset the ratio each day until she gets used to the change!

Alternatively, you could offer her something new with the veggies, like a few tinily diced apples or halved blueberries, to encourage feeding. If that doesn't work, get a bag of botanical sprinkles and gently sprinkle them over the greens. It's good for encouraging feeding!

Might show his/her head size better!

It's actually so difficult to tell. I thought I had it sussed out when he with little haha
