4 hours later, lots of screws, and sore hands tomorrow! Hewbie’s stand for his new home is done. He tells me he’s so excited for his new bigger home with fishy friends.

New stand looks great!!!
 
I can’t wait to get Hewbie in the big tank! I really have been feeling bad for the little dude. It’s been longer than I wanted to keep him in the small tank.
 
So I left the tank outside uncovered so I could do the sealant and a bird pooped in it lol! I realized after I could’ve just left it in the garage after I took it out because the spray enamel didn’t work like I thought it would.

Congrats. I love the porcupines! This is my little guy exploring his new digs. I lost my last one (14") due to a parasite outbreak.

Make sure to feed him right!

How big is that tank? Hard to get a scale. Awesome work!
Thank you! A 75 and I have a 120 I can put him in too. But for now we shall see how big and fast he grows.
 
Great! You ever seen an adult porcupine tho? Might need a 300+ decently soon...
I have. They get around a foot with the maximum being 20 inches. Taking it day by day!:) I really love and care about him. So rehoming is possible too.

I started with a 75. A few months later, I had a 150. Now I have a 210. All because of the puffer.
