Just a quick few questions.

1. Carson is about 5 to 6 months i've had her since saturday and also fed her then as she was due a feed. She ate with minium fuss, however i notice the was no lump after eating it, also she was really active after eating it. My question is what age or when should she be on two pinkies.

2. I noticed most people recomended that you have two hides one in the warm and one in cool end, i was just wondering is a toielt roll tube is okay as a hide. I have a ceramic hide in the warm side but none in cool side

Thanks in advance Gary!

Have a look on the caresheet, via the homepage. That gives you loads of great information.
Have you left her alone for the 7 day settling in period? Also make sure you leave her alone for 48 hours after feeding to let her digest her food, you don't want her regurgitating it!

Fed her earlier on today, i gave her on of the bigger of the bunch, however defrosted two incase she was ready for it, once she ate the first bigger one a lump appeared so the small one went into the bin. Thanks for the advice people.
