Hello everyone.
Yesterday, I brought home little Lenny, bought from the local petco. Although it wasn't planned I am glad I got him. I have done a lot of reading online to make sure I am a proper owner to him, but am having a few concerns.
I uploaded a couple pictures, but along with him I bought Petco's "complete kit" Pretty good size cage, water bottle, food dish and I bought a little barn for him. The kit came with food that had dehydrated veggies in it, and the store associate informed me that they are not used to that type of food. Sure enough he was just picking out the pellets so today, I bought a bag of just the pelets. She told me that he needs Vitamin C, so she suggested I buy the drops to put in the water. When I got home I added the drops and he didn't seem to mind, he drank almost the whole bottle of water yesterday. I read today that the drops are not a good product but now I'm really worried that hes not going to get enough vitman C. Today I bought some green peppers, I cut a slice for him and he nibbled on it for a bit. I put it in his food bowl along with the pellets and Hay, but it has gone untouched. Now I'm wondering if I should keep using the drops to ensure he gets some Vitamin C. I also am going to get him a "roommate", but I want to make sure he is alright first.
Can you gguys give me some advice?
Also:
How long should he have free range time a day?
Should I cover his cage at night?
