Its probably best that you set them up in a reliable refrigerator with the temperature set to between 45 and 50 degrees. Place each of them in their own breathable box or tub in a covering bed of dry leaves or shredded newsprint. Check the temperature regularly and allow a new supply of fresh...
Hi, our 4 CDTs are sleeping for the winter right now, but once they awaken, a few of their favorite foods include mulberry leaves, grape leaves and cactus pads. You might try these as you wean your's from lettuces and expensive commercial pellotized foods.
Oh ya . . . are you offering to pay? Nah . . . I wouldn't do that to a friend. We'll have to find a coffee shop where the friendship is more important than a swanky ambience and outrageous prices.
Totally captured by the name . . . just must be my kind of place. Oops . . . viewed the menu as you suggested, now not so much of a fan. My gracious . . . I don't think our weekly grocery budget is anything like a meal for 2 at Wally's. Those prices tend to upset my digestive system.
What about grandfathers? My grandkids have all insisted upon a ride upon my shoulders when they were young. I think that they may have been slave drivers. Enough!
Nancy and I watch Wagon Train nightly before bedtime. Its a good, wholesome show, with values we can appreciate, unlike most of those produced today. I guess that we're just old fogies . . . me, not you (Yvonne), or Nancy. We also enjoy The Big Valley and Dr. Quinn. Nancy retired from a career...
WILL: would there be any nutritional difference between freshly cut, green alfalfa, dried alfalfa, or re-hydrated pelletized sources? All assuming a well-hydrated diet.
I just took the fresh laundry out of the dryer and neatly folded them; they were so warm to my arthritic old hands on this cold afternoon. It's my poor wife who's having the harder time right now . . . she's doing the weekly grocery shopping at Walmart, on this the Saturday following Thanksgiving.
Golly, Yvonne . . . I've never minded working in the kitchen. It keeps my hands busy and I'm somewhat less likely to be reminded that the eves around the house need painting or that the tree in the front yard needs triming, or that the toilet needs fixing or that . . . well, I think you get the...
The baby RES pictured in your original post isn't ready for goldfish yet. A great protein source at this point is chopped or very small earthworms. Small bites of fresh tuna are good as well. For some fun, juvinile guppies are great, although your slider may not be able to catch them on his own yet.
My friend, I was implying, hoping that you'd infer, that your tote habitat was insufficent if used for more than a VERY short time. I'm so pleased that you already knew of all this, and weren't planning to go out and purchase a filtration system, lights, and heater, as well as obtain the...
Thank you for your kind words, Drew.
(The attached picture was taken a few years ago. The plantings are far more mature now. Pictured is Tommy Jr., the 34 year old son of the original Tommy. His mother is Tammy. How Tommy, senior and Tammy arrived in our care may be found in one of my earlier...
Sixty plus years ago, when I first got Tommy, our adult California Desert Tortoise, my dad and I drilled a hole in the scute just above his left rear leg and restrained him with about 20 feet of closeline. I remember his straining against it to this day. I picture him doing this and am shamed...
Baby red-eared sliders require swimming areas, basking areas, and hiding areas - more than one. They like to dig into the gravel and mud at the bottom. What filtration system will you utilize? You can't make do with just dumping water. Can this tote supply all this? It doesn't appear so. Your...
