a pic from the other day when it was nice enough for Spud to go out

Joe has been loving the humidity today. He likes thunderstorms too. He sits in the middle of the lawn and enjoys the rain.

Spud didn't stay out in the storm. He's never been in rain, i wonder if he'd like it

Rain won't harm him on days like today when it's so warm. As long as his enclosure doesn't flood he will be fine.

It did... For a couple of days.
And now we just had a storm.
Oh I do love English summer -_-

How are you?

Splendidly, splendid and splendid, ta for asking.
Busy but happy.

And he seems very happy about it, too.
Tidgy loves being outside.
here we have the opposite problem and must be careful she doesn't overheat.

The first time it rained on Tidgy she vanished into her shell and wouldn't come out.
But now she completely ignores it on the rare occasion she encounters it.

Spud enjoyed a bit of a treat this morning. A STRAWBERRY! My plants have flowered and strawberries are growing so I thought I'd give him one so I could take a few pics (sorry for the bad quality, they were screenshots from a video)

Hi, Spud!
You seem to be enjoying your treat.

Missed you about the place.

That's the sweetest picture ever.

Spuds not very happy as he is inside today.

I am completely re doing his outdoor enclosure as the plants are all dying. My plan was to pull out all the plants and just to add a fresh layer of peat to grow on... Nope! The plants were so well rooted that I couldn't get them out and I ended up just pulling EVERYTHING out.
There was even a carrot that somehow found its way in there!


I am picking up some more peat and am going to grow all the plants again.

Oh well, it shouldn't be too much longer until Spud is back outside again! He is literally climbing the walls inside!

 

[JoesMum]

Even without the growing plants he can go outside.

Growing plants in trays and sinking them into the substrate makes them easier to swap out. As a short term measure, a tray of supermarket "living lettuce" will provide browse. (Sainsbury's and Waitrose do them for £1, so the others probably do too)

He will be out as soon as I've got more peat (hopefully today). I will grow seed trays but also chuck seeds straight in like last time. The only reason that he isn't out there at the moment is because I don't have any peat left at the moment lol
