Ainsley Pics

[CricketForestwater]

Just figured I might as well have an "update" thread for my little guy. I really should be getting ready for work, right now, but I can't seem to keep from taking photo after photo of my new baby!

Found a great way to get him to eat his greens: cover them with sweet potato baby food! This one was taken outside the glass of his cage, thus the reason my camera thought it would be a brilliant idea to use the flash and wash out the picture >_<





So, I decided to take them inside his enclosure...of which he wasn't too sure about at first.





But, I think he's used to me enough, by now, so he just went right back to nomming. Of course, by this time he'd figured out that simply licking the greens would get him more of the taste from the baby food. Think he was also getting a little full.




Anyway, that's all for now! Keep a watch on this thread for more updates as they come

Very cute! I like the idea of blending, I do it with dog food but same result!

Yup, before I had just tossed together the chicken and greens, but being the smart little thing that he is he quickly figured out he could push the greens aside to get at the yummy chicken. Do you blend yours together with a food processor? Or just by hand? I usually have the different components (finely chopped greens, cooked shredded and cut chicken, jar of babyfood) prepped and separate in the fridge and mix them together with my fingers in the amount I want when I'm ready to feed him.

Personally I don't recommend feeding baby food, full of preservatives, sugars, etc. X_X Not the healthiest.

Also what I do (back when i fed mine high quality dog food mixed with veggies as well as now with my meat mix of ground turkey, steak, chicken heat/gizzards/liver) is chop up veggies very tiny, mix the meat in with the veggies so that most of the veggies are in the middle so that when mine takes a big bite he eats that too. or just chop them finely and mix in very well, or use a food processor. :]

Not a picture, this time, but a video! The quality is a little low since it's being taken from outside the glass of the tank, but I still thought is reaction to the wax worm was adorable.

I love the way Ainsley turns his head to the side LOL

[CricketForestwater]

The lighting in my apartment is crap, so I wasn't able to get very good pictures of the adorableness, but tonight Ainsley had fun exploring the couch, then burrowing through my hair, then burrowing into my shirt and is now sitting comfortably in my shirt sleeve while I clean. More and more of his personality is coming out and he's such a silly little thing XD


Exploring!



Peekaboo~


And lastly a bit of a video:

Now that Ainsley is back from his Grand Adventure, I figured I'd do a few photo updates. Just a few cute ones, though I do need to do a size update. He's gotten so big! At least twice the size he was when we got him


In his Log hide. He will use the little branches or just about anything else the right height in his cage as a sort of chin prop or pillow. I find it absolutely adorable.





Next he's in the hood of my sweater. He stayed there for hours until I finally decided I needed to put him back in his cage.




He really loves being in there lol


Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the update! And thank you again to all that worried right along with me while he was missing~
