Hes so cute!! Seems like such a curious little guy~

Hiding under the substrate is completely normal, he may still be adjusting. Bananas and grapes are always a hit - But being a fruit, make sure to only feed them as treats - Veggies are much more important ;) Be sure to consult the diet chart to help pick out something yummy -

I was wondering what kind of skink he is. He seems really...light, white? for an eastern. Is that "normal" in Aus or is that a NZ thing?

Yeap we are complete beginners and loving it too!! At the moment he has just finished his dinner of pumpkin baby food. Was the first time we tried it and he loves it!!
We feed him all types of chopped up veges, wet dog food, baby food and he loves bananas and snails as treats.
He's not that keen on wax worms and meal worms I think he is lazy..

He is a massive greedy glutz! What have you named your baby??

Def get some, I'll check it out.. I just get the puppy pack of pedigree dog food from pak n save.. Pluto eats cat or dog food, we mix it up so he doesn't get bored.

Gave him some raw egg for the first time the other day on a spoon. He loved it!! Ended up with a eggy beard!! Have you tried snails with your wee one yet?
