Whats done is done and with your help he can live the rest of his life happily. Finding him a partner won't be too difficult as ibera are fairly common in this country. Keep an eye out on classifieds sites as I've seen a few female ibera for sale recently.

Hi nicky, I agree with whats already been said, he could have been worse, the main thing is you will have him on a strict diet now, in the correct enviroment, and hibernation of coarse ...T.T. 8)
