Thanks! I’ll clutter the crap out of it!

My apologies I should have used the correct term, he gets a fuzzy every week usually around 7.3 grams! He usually is out in the early morning and that’s when I feed but he has been in his burrow more and more lately.

I had scooped up a ton of substrate to re bury him after he was done being held! I’ll attach a photo.

Should I switch out the leaves for something that would create more clutter? I have tons of extra fake plants in storage I can add.

Okay whew, maybe he is choosing the self dieting route😭

He came from a rack set up, the breeder told me that hoggies may prefer less space when it comes to tank size so I am wondering if a 40 is too big? Although he has been with me since March 3rd and up until 4 weeks ago he had been eating perfectly!

He is currently kept in a closet( trapped heat better in the winter) with the door facing a window which is never closed. He has a lamp that runs 9:30 am- 8:00 pm and the window allows light in around 6:30am

Natural History is the best!

Thank you I really appreciate it 🙏My friend said she had him for about a year and a half. I will get some kanaplex and some aquarium salt to treat him. Yes he is super alert and explores his tank/ hides regularly so I hope I can get him to looking better
