So excited to finally have our first Bluey.
Thanks to Rory Breaker, we have our very own Eastern, Northern NSW locale Skink. And he is just a little beauty. My family and I are so excited :ohyes:

Thank you very much RoryBreaker for everything. :thumbs:

You have been very professional and made the whole experience pleasant, and easy. I really appreciate you meeting us last night too. Most of all thank you for tolerating my countless questions and messages, you may have notice how excited we all were, and just wanted to make sure everything was just right for her arrival.

Will keep you updated with her progess (yes my daughter is claiming it a female lol). She is just beautiful and already warming to us. We have had cuddles 3 times already. Thanks again for everything. Fingers crossed we may be able to warm my husband to adding to our family again in a year or two, so we can keep your lines going (once we know she is a she or he of course ;) )

A huge thank you again. :D

I must apologise. I was sooo busy talking to you, I thought afterwards that I didn't give your two younglings much attention. I hope they were not too upset.

That is a happy picture.

That's o.k mate, you saw them, they were too excited to proceed with any informative conversation lol.

I do have a question though. Is it normal for a bluey to go off their food when they are introduced into a new habitat? Skittles ate a little yesterday morning, but nothing today. Wasn't interested at all. She has also been buried in the substrate for most of the day.
She has been moving from cool end to warm, so don't think it's a heating issue.
So I'm hoping it's just her, settling in, but just wanted to know what you and other experienced keepers thoughts are on the situation.

Thanks

Yes, it sounds pretty standard for a bluey that is settling in to its new home. Beautiful eastern!
