COLD DARK ROOM

[Bee62]

SPLAT is still in quarantine at a friends house.
The trouble is, i don't have the necessary equipment there and my friend the ability to overwinter it. SPLAT is too young to safely brumate, in my opinion, but I don't see what else I can do, as it's living pretty much wild in the big courtyard garden in the centre of the house.
However, due to unseasonably warm temperatures, SPLAT is showing no inclination to brumate is very active and eating like a team of horses.
Tidgy, on the other hand, is reluctant to eat and trying to find a spot to sleep for the winter as she always does this time of year.
Torts!

What equipment do you need ? Heat and UVB bulbs or an enclosure for Splat ?

All of the above.
It's not a worry, I'll sort something out.

These don't come in the house. They are rodents, but not really mice. Dormice live in deciduous woodland and their favourite food is hazel nuts (or the very similar cob nut here in Kent)

They are nocturnal, hence the big eyes. Their reputation for sleeping a lot was picked up for the character in Alice In Wonderland.

These little guys are having a tough time in the UK due to habitat loss which is why you must have a license to handle them.

Can you order these things from amazon ? I have no clue what you can order or get in Morocco, but when you need something that I can send you in a package, don`t be shy to say it. I would do, I hope you know.

Can't order from Amazon, no, only books and DVD's, can't even order empty DVD covers, silly site.
But i'll pick up some stuff in Spain this weekend.
Thanks very much for the kind offer.
A list of all the cheese and other stuff I like from Germany will be following shortly.

I am looking forward to your list !
Why can` t you order all things from amazon ? Is it the customs authorities that forbid this ?

 

[Bee62]

That's the one

The tail is cute. It is really hairy ! Mice often have a naked tail.

No, all these things can be posted here, and some other companies do this, it's just Amazon's rules.
It may take a few days to compile the list.
It is likely to be several sheets of A4.

Yum, yum !

 

[JoesMum]

Early night for me. I don't know why, but I am very tired tonight. Goodnight all

Write as much as you like, but you should know that you have to pay the postage.
