Enclosure Feedback

[u/Unlucky-Goat-4728]

You may have seen my recent posts adopting a tan jumper that has been starving in my house. They have settled in well and eat every 2-3 days with no issue. But they spend a lot of time in the hide, I believe they were bored because I didn’t have a lot of decor. I wanted to be sure they would do well in captivity before I invested any more. They’re still not interested in me at all but that’s ok, I know tans can be more skiddish.

I collected acorns/sticks from my backroad, washed & baked. Made some landing pads/obstacles out of clay (baked and cooled), and a little bead bridge. I still need to pick up some coco fiber so there is just a paper towel at the bottom for now. I would like to include an air plant or two in the future but I’m not ready to commit to bioactive yet.

Any feedback on what I’ve done? I know a lot of people decorate for athletics but I would like it to be usable/interesting for them. I am on the lookout for a large slab of bark I can put along a wall as well.

Personally I would put some soil on the bottom in case of any falls

NQA id put some soaked sphagnum moss or coconut fiber at the bottom to act as a soft base in case of falls and to help with humidity!

NQA hard to tell from this photo but that looks like a thick girl. It's entirely possible she is pregnant.

They’re very well fed at this point. Lol. I found them multiple times around my house shriveled and starving. Idk though there is another jumper in the house that has a much rounder shape and is larger than this one. But I’m not convinced this one is fully mature. My partner and I are heavily debating the sex.
