Babies are not able to thermoregulate like adults, so they need temps in the low 80's until 6 months of age or so. Females stay at the low 80's. Humidity is the same as adults I think - I just sprayed Amy twice a day the same as I did for Lily. Amy had plain calcium 6 days a week on her morning feeds and vitamins (nutrabol) once a week until she was 6 months old. Babies are a worry, but it's so worth it to watch them grow up! Amy was a tiny 12 weeks old when I got her - the breeder didn't overfeed them so they grew slower.

Sounds spot on to me! It's amazing how much food they can hoover up at that age, lol! It's just as well that the smaller the feeders, the more you get for your money! Herbert sounds absolutely adorable. He'll soon grow into his eyes and legs, bless him!
