    So I am worried about my goby. First is he getting enough food I bury mynsis and arcti pods around his cave everyday. Is there anyway to know if he is not getting enough food? Also recently he moved his cave from under a rock with nothing on top of it to under a rock with a bunch of other rock on top of it. How can i make sure he does not get crushed or cause a cave in?

    Good rock work is the only way. Make sure everything is stable, give it a lil nudge and it ifs stable it wont really move. Also as long as he looks fat and plump and not super skinny hes getting food. Also if he is healty he will get hungry and come out for food eventually.

    Is it normal for a goby to keep more than one burrow.

    Sleeper Blue Dot Goby. He is really cool and I don't want anything to happen to him. I have already lost two and he is by far the coolest.
