Baby Godzilla went through another moult successfully. After about a week of no movement I finally saw a pair of legs poking out of the hammock.

Baby Godzilla's legs poking out the hammock

It’s fun to imagine them poking their little legs out when they do a big stretch like a cat waking up.

This means we have a new entry to the events table.

I’m measuring the moults as when they finally come out from the hammock so it could be a week or so off.

Skinny baby after moulting

I’m always so worried about how skinny they get after moulting. Luckily they had 2 mealworms shortly after. The first I fed them, then a day later they found a mealworm which had previously escaped and I couldn’t find. Baby is a better hunter than me it seems.
