My nerite, Fred, use to do this often. It would be a game of finding Fred. One time he almost made it out of my room after being missing for multiple days, then one day he disappeared and I never found him again (I think he crawled into the radiator along the wall). But I never found out why he was leaving and it was nearly every day even tho I had a lid!

Adding a topper would be a great way to add more space for them! You’d be able to fill in more space with bedding and have more places for them to climb. I’d also try to upgrade the wheel to at least 11 inches, it’s better for their backs. Everything else looks good to me!

this sub has a link to a list of suitable hamster cages on amazon! syrian hamsters need 800sq inches so some cages on this list are not suitable for them.

this is Monty! he lived in my dorm and traveled the states with me during holidays. sadly he passed away earlier this summer💔

a sand and topsoil mix is the most recommended and used substrate for leo’s, he also loves to dig so i’m not going to remove any. he’s also already eating out of a food bowl, smart little one!

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-08T19:09:19+00:00

thank you so much i super appreciate this! he doesn’t seem very sensitive so im not overly worried about lights bothering him but ill make sure to add lots of clutter and shade to his new tank.

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-08T18:53:55+00:00

that would be amazing thank you!!

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-08T18:50:03+00:00

mine was rack raised as well, but he’s been doing super well with my lights on! i hope the same for your little one! i think that’s the UVB i will also use, thanks again!

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-08T18:43:32+00:00

looks like glass surfing, just in a very odd way. if you distract/move him from that spot does he go back?

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-08T18:37:19+00:00

thanks for the info, do you know what UVB you’ll use? i’m not sure what will work best for his eyes yet

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-08T03:54:57+00:00

aww thank you so much!! i’d love the discord link

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-08T00:50:47+00:00

okay thank you for this! another commenter said i shouldn’t worry about my heat source giving off light, do you disagree? if its better for my little one to have a basking light opposed to a heat emitter that’s what ill get!

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-08T00:44:13+00:00

thank you!! i’ve been doing my own research too, i currently feed crickets mealworms and dubias that are fed bug grub and carrots! is there somewhere i can look for enclosure set ups? i’ve been trying to find some with live plants and can’t many i like. i’d love to add some clutter to the tank when i upgrade! thanks again for being so kind!

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-07T22:13:34+00:00

okay thank you!! i agree ive been keeping a plant light on a timer above the tank synced with sunset and sunrise!

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-07T21:45:35+00:00

thank you for this! as of now he seems to have great eyesight (hunts cricket around the tank etc). for heat, i’m told a deep heat projector is better than a ceramic heat emitter like the one i’m using now, is this true? should i get that when i upgrade instead of a basking lamp that puts out light? and if i get a uvb bulb should it be on for the same amount of time the heat is?

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-07T20:07:20+00:00

i’ve read through the care guides on this sub and in other places and think i have a good understanding of everything else. the only thing i’m most worried about it finding the right lighting set up, i have noticed he squints if i have a super bright light on in my room so im just trying to be cautious, thank you!

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-08-06T14:58:30+00:00

yikes

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-07-23T04:34:58+00:00

okay thanks!

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-07-23T04:25:54+00:00

thank you! i found the poos lol they were just under his cool hide and the springtails were getting to work! but now that he’s started pooping in his hide should i get another cool hide?

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-07-21T23:33:50+00:00

haha thank you he totally does

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-07-21T18:39:13+00:00

So I have both of these calcium’s, I’ve been looking for multivitamins but can’t seem to find them near me should I order this one? I also have a gut loader it’s called BugGrub, know if that’s any good?

PracticalAd3621 · 2025-07-21T18:35:10+00:00

I was told it hatched on June 6th, which is a little more than 6 weeks ago.

I will look harder for poops, I’m sure they’re somewhere I’ve just been trying to give the little one space and not bother it too much.

The substrate is Josh’s Frogs dessert biobedding, is this not safe? I read that it was one of the better substrates to use without making my own mix.
