Sadly he got a bit etiolated last winter, but this year he's going to get all the light and love so he can stay cute and pudgy :)

I've never seen this one before! I love all the little fuzzy bits around it! Keep him pudgy for me!

I'll try my best! Got a nice strong light this year (possibly too strong if anything), so here's hoping!

This is what it looks like now, it's already a bit etiolated. Not very much at all, fortunately, but he was a bit more chubby and round originally. Did keep him under a cheap Amazon light over the winter, but it wasn't bright enough and he started getting elongated, but fortunately he's a slow grower so it's not very visible yet :)

Wish I took a photo when I bought him to show what he looked like.

Edit: found a photo online that's very similar to the shape this little dude had when I got him:
