A change of seasons is in the air and I am only feeding Stella in her indoor area now, as some day time temps have been only in the 70's. I noticed a lot of blossoms on our Prickly Pear cactus are starting to fade, so I harvested several bowls of it. I am hoping I can freeze them for winter treats for Stella. Anyone have any experience on whether they will hold up to freezing and defrosting?
Also, I don't remember if I first saw this Youtube video on the forum or came across it on my own, but I built Stella one like this in her playroom for the winter, and am so happy with the way it came out it is definitely worth sharing.
With day time temps as they are, she can still come out into the yard to roam, but I am so pleased to have a comfortable environment for her this winter. It's really nice to have everything on timers and not have to worry about turning things off and on. I added a big water dish water and lots of coco coir as well as timothy grass, but the basic set up in the video is similar to what I put together as far as heating and lights. This will be Stella's second winter with us and I am thrilled to have a nicely insulated space for her.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions about the cactus blossoms. Anna
