Still haven't taken him to the vet (I work about 60hrs a week) but he seems very happy and I think he is a little more outgoing than he was with Gumby. He always pokes his head up when I get home (if its the late afternoon at least) and I have been giving him so yogurt drops, and his grasshoppers. He seems happier than before actually. It doesnt really seem like he misses gumby too much.
