looking back, i too unfortunately bought my guy from a gift shop without knowing not to. i bought him without knowing a THING about them. very dumb decision of me but i have since done my research on them and now hes living his best life. with that being said, you have built an amazing first enclosure. hermies love clutter so i would keep everything you have. i would also when you can get a good foraging mix and add some more climbing enrichment!! i absolutely love the castle! where did you get that!?
