Bless his little heart, he has had a drink.

Any ideas how to keep him warm tonight? I don't have a viv.

How warm should he stay at night?

Thank you

Success!!

Thank you for all your help. Hopeful now that he might eat tomorrow.

Good news

I can't quite see the water line in the bath but make sure he can submerge his head to drink x

He may eat now if you try him

Have you a spare heat lamp? What is he in at the moment, I'm in love with him and he's not even mine lol, x

Thank you.

It does look shallow in the photo, but it was covering his back legs, just over the shell, and also over the plastron at the front - so I think deep enough? He is out under his light again now, but I am hoping to be able to get some reptoboost tomorrow at pets at home.

He is so cute compared to my huge Margies.

Thank you. I only have bulbs, uv or spot, not a ceramic thing. I might bring one of the tubular heaters in from the shed to help.

He is super cute, I so hope he makes it.

I have tried to tempt him, but he is not interested yet.
