COLD DARK ROOM

Fixed that for you

I think that you can feed some species banana as a treat too, but be sure to check dietary requirements first [emoji1]

Only redfoots as a treat. The grassland species like sulcatas, leopards, greeks, russians and Hermann’s can’t handle the sugar content of bananas

Hot and humid , yes again, like a broken record. Like Germany and the UK, grasses and flowers and fields are browning out.. no water, baked by the daily sun and high temps.

But...thanks to my five gallon bucket, our banana trees are loving the heat. Note the relatively small container i keep them in.
Each Fall, i lug this pot back into our garage to keep from freezing.

In my defense, I started when we had 16 teams left. I wish I started earlier!!
It was so fun!!!

It was lots of fun. If anybody is keen i can join our pool to other leagues and we can carry on having fun. And that is why I have given myself the spoon as fair is fair .

Over the weekend some soccer moms some how got on the subject of pets and I told them I had 5 tortoises and I got all the silly questions!
Why?
What do you do with them? What do they do?
How long have you liked “turtles?” They are not turtles[emoji51]
Etc!!
Glad someone changed the subject !

Lol

 

[CarolM]

Absolutely! [emoji2]

Yay. Thank you.

You really do have a beautiful garden.

 

[CarolM]

Two years ago, one of the large mature stalks put out a nice large flower filled with itzy bitsy bananas. They grew nicely, but i don’t think i provided enough daily water, and they kind of dried out. :-(. If they do it again, I’ll be sure to overdose on the water.

I do know that our Sully loves those leaves,,, every bit. So one large leaf is a nice treat every few days.

My little ones don't like the leaves yet. But hopefully one day they will.

Banana is my RF's favorite food in the whole world.

Mine too!! I only feed once in a while now because I thought I read that the sugar can cause a parasite bloom.

 

[CarolM]

Went for a walk and took some pics of the vlei. Sorry couldn't get close up of the birds. But also took a video so hopefully you can hear them.

Borrow a friends big dog for a few days!

Good tip!

 

[Kristoff]

It’s been so dry, the little finches decided to check out our gutter this morning for drops of water and food..

Poor things

 

[Kristoff]

Had my sisters dog to stay a couple of weeks ago - didn't make any difference.
Maybe I need a much bigger dog?

Sure. Not that cute one who’s afraid of a particular spot outdoors.

How was your Dad today?

 

[Kristoff]

Good morning all.

Let me introduce you to Billy. Billy is a Pipistrelle bat staying with my daughter for a couple of nights while his regular carer is away. He hasn’t been well, but is on the road to recovery.

His story currently sounds very like Lola... he’s trying it on! He needs to eat live mealworms, but will only eat them if you pull the head off first! And Daughter was also told that he wouldn’t fly, but as soon as he arrived he started flying round the room. Fortunately Daughter had closed both the window of the room and the door before feeding Billy!

Cute little vampire! Didn’t know they could be kept as pets.
