How old is he?

[lexi322]

We purchased him and they told us he was 1 year.he always in the back of his cage very dark. What can I do?is he older?

He is at least a year old based on how thick he is. Make sure he is on an every other day feeding of no more than 3-5 feeders. Need to watch his weight. No way to know for sure on age. Could be a year could be 3 or could be 5.

Being in the back of the cage dark may be a response to the cage set up and or equipment being used. Can you post a pic of the entire cage including the lighting on top?

Ok I am going to just ask this question. I have seen people decide to breed here and get in over their head. Why are you wanting to breed? You do know this is an extremely expensive endeavor to set up tons of baby cages and you can end up stuck with a lot of babies right? I know you already bred a female. I am not sure how many you have now. I know you have asked questions in the forum on gender of babies etc. I would just hate to see you get in over your head. There is more than just breeding them and bad things can happen when they are not ready to be paired. I mean very serious injuries, just because a female is smaller than a male does not mean they can not cause a lot of damage to a male when they are not receptive and they are paired. Just my two cents... Let him acclimate. Something is going on if he is sitting dark all the time.
