Well by the name yes i named my ig Peter (Family Guy was the inspiration)...although if it turns out to be a girl I havent work on that name yet lol...well i bought peter about a year and a half ago from the beach in atlantic city which sounds dumb i know but i couldnt resist...at first it seemed like he wasnt growing so i thought the one they sold me was sick but turns out he seems fine today...
Im assuming he will be 2 years old in May and I just measured him and he is around 22"....I went from a 20 gallon tank to now a 50 gallon and have plans on making a cage starting this weekend actually....i usually feed him collard, mustard, and turnip greens as well as kale, carrots, he likes apple, and other fruits....im telling you all this because I have some questions and I know these are what you need to know to have a good response...
Well, to start, I have a mesh screen on the top of the cage which i am assuming everyone did at one point and peter for whatever reason likes to scratch at it especially when I am a little late on feeding him...So as a result almost all of his front toes are crooked and broken...So my question is does this happen a lot and can they fix themselves???...Also I have started to notice that when he eats a lot a bump occurs on the left side of his abdomen near his hind legs....seems to go away once he digests and goes to the bathroom but its there everytime he eats....What could this be???
Thanks in advance and I will work on getting pics
