What bushfires was he rescued from?

 

[Jarradmason]

Mallala he was burnt on his feet my mate had him for a few weeks couldn't get him to eat so he gave him to me

 

[pinefamily]

And is he eating for you? How have his feet healed up?
Looking at your setup again, I'd get more sand in there so he can dig. If he can't tunnel, bury a piece of PVC pipe in the sand, with an angled joiner at each end so he can get out. We've done it with a lot of our monitors, and they love it.

He's a bit cute. Being wild caught, how is he handling wise?
