That's good, at least you know why he's hiding away so much. It might be worth changing his hides to half toilet roll tubes after he's shed, will help him to feel safe and you can keep his hides until he's grown a little

Hi i have two yearlings that live in the lounge always coming out to see whats happening, my baby born in April only comes out in the evening and when i am sleeping i imagine. Given time he /she will become more confident and sociable i am sure.A toilet roll tube is good as a hide while young gives a sense of security.

Yea that's totally normal Trevor was incredibly nervous for months when i first got him. Although when i bought a smaller hide for him he seemed much better.

It takes babies a long time to settle in, so just have to be patient I had my Falco from a hatchling and didn't see him out for the first 4 months! Don't worry, he'll settle in given time
What are you using for hides? I had a coconut for Falco and it was so big he was scared to move, so started using cut up toilet roll tubes to make him feel safe.

Be patient, he's only a baby

I think he is 7 weeks old and hes in a 9 liter rub
Hissyfit Posted - 24/06/2012 : 12:18:32

Swigpig Posted - 24/06/2012 : 10:48:29

Its early days yet, has he poked his nose out when you do water change/poo check? He will be moving about you just wont of caught him doing it.
Swigpig Posted - 24/06/2012 : 09:34:37
I thought i might see him late at night but nothing not even wen ive came downstairs at 3 in the morn and had a quick peek

They can be very timid but i have found they will get a bit braver with time.

Perfectly normal. They are not out and about creatures I'm afraid x
