This is Bo! He's come to me from Allison (gingerpony) who's lovingly looked after him+got him healthy+feeding! Thanks so much allison!! He's 5 years old+soooooo handsome :) i am in love with him




How handsome is he??:

My first proper cuddle with him :):

Exploring his new home:


Hard part now is to stop myself just staring at him through the glass! No handling until friday, when il only give him a quick weigh+then feed him, then another 2 hands-off days :(

you are biased alison, but i agree with you LOL Glad his set up looks good! he's just chilling out with his head resting ontop of the cave hide! settled down very quickly after his initial explore!

Dums generally grow pretty slow, you'd expect them to mature at about 8-10 years old
i had him a couple of years and with correct housing and husbandry and a few drastic measures, eventually he started eating F/T on his own
he was with his previous owner for a year or so but only fed 4 times in that entire time!!
i only bought him because i truly believe he was really quite close to dying, very dull, lethargic, sunken eyes, pinched saggy skin, and as he moved through my hands i could actually feel every single rib
i'm sure there's a good few posts about him in the archives on here
he's still small and a bit on the slim side too but a healthy weight for his size. it's just as unhealthy to over-feed or power-feed for rapid weight gain

he's about 3-3.5ft, hard to measure him LOL! sure he'll grow fast enough tho!

its sad that he wasnt taken care of properly,thought you might of put years instead of months,thinking that a 05 would be around the 6 mark,how big is he?
