Plop: The unexpected rescue... (lots of pics)

[Gizmo]

Omg that before and after pic is amazing! He's plumping up so nicely Plop is going to be a little fatty Plop before you know it haha :p

It is crazy, how much just two weeks of actual care and attention will help a poor baby. I mean, i didnt even do all that much. I helped get his shed off, and then fed him. Thats it... Kept him warm and dry. whoa, what a concept.

Soon a year will pass and you'll be wondering where the time went. And you won't be able to tell he ever had such a hard start! You've done wonders on the poor boy!

I knoooooow! Im gunna miss him being little enough to fit in my hand. XD

he looks so great! what a cutie... i know you will be moving and stuff so youre in transition and money may be tight at first so until you figure something out with his humidity may i suggest a product called shed-ease (found at petco etc etc) stuff works great to aid with shedding and just for the occasional soak. might help ya out for a little while.

I would really like to avoid chemicals wherever possible. I prefer longer soaks vs getting a 'shedding aid'. lol But thank you so much for the tip!

Plop looks great, good job. I love his name... He is fine in a smaller enclosure too. More secure for babies. I agree, a thermostat should be your first new investment, when you get settled. Make sure you keep us posted with Plop updates.

Thank you! Yeah, ill see if i can get the thermostat from a store, ill probably end up getting it sooner, rather than later, if i can.

And of course i will keep everyone updated!
