Belle Pepper care guide

Belle eats (daily):

• Dry kibble provided by an Automatic feeder 3 times a day
• Wet food: provided by hand (see below how to make each meal)

Morning's web breakfast is a minnow + churu + water

Dinner's wet dinner is can + water + egg yolk

• Scoop 2x day
• Add a bit more sand if needed

• Water fountain: Check if it is running and add fresh water every 3 days

• Water bowl: add fresh water if you are not staying overnight (this is a backup in case fountain fails)

• She likes to play a lot! Ideally 3 x for 15-20 minutes a day; favorite times always after eating
• Most loved toys: mouse and worm (see below for pics) – but beware, string can hurt her, play with caution, don’t let toy lie around.
• Soso-loved aka might play with it if nothing else is there: automatic ball inside the pinkish spaceship (needs to be recharged sometimes)

• In the morning, she often comes to bed even if she did not sleep there: ignore her if she tries to wake you up in the morning, only pay attention when you stand up.
