hi all
i have 2 new baby hoggies from the show so cute. but was just wondering how long can it be to get them settled. im just asking as they havnt eaten yet, but are both very happy. i have them on aspen with loads of little hides ect and what size tank would you advise i put babies in, as i think there tank may be too big for them.

I've got a new female hoggie hatchling, I got her last Saturday, she's in the small section of a large flat faun, I've covered the sides so she's only got one view out (don't want to stress her with loads of space) and will introduce her gradually to more space. Mines is settling in really well, she shed on Wed, took her first feed on Friday and I had my first proper cuddle today and she never even musked on me. It's only been a week so here's hoping she'll settle in nicely.

Ask me and I will tell you

Back to hoggies, eh Keira? Hope these ones work out better for you.
It can take a few weeks for them to be completely settled, but if they're just hatchlings, then I'd advise a small tank to begin with. But if you have lots of hides for them they're probably not too stressed as they'll have somewhere to hide.
