Happy Birthday to Jerry.
It's not actually his birthday, but it is 4 years since we brought him home to live with us.
He's had another fine year, including a ten week fridge hibernation which included power cuts due to replacing a boiler and an entire kitchen being built around his fridge! Not ideal, but he came through it all just fine.
He has been in his outdoor enclosure since mid May, without any additional heat, except his two coldframes, though he is starting to slow down a bit as the temps drop.
I'm quite amazed at how much weight he seems to have put on this year considering that I didn't water his enclosure at all (to mimic wild conditions),resulting in much of the lush green weeds dying back.
He has still not required a visit to the vet and remains a happy, healthy little fellow.
