HIS FIRST WEIGH IN!

Mr Caiman (still to be named!) has settled in fantastically well, and today we took the opportunity to get his first weight, and it was an almighty 46g! Looking forward to watching him grow, after a couple more weeks we will start his training, including clicker training, to make routine things like this a lot easier & less stressful
