Your stomach is growling! You must be hungry :)

I am starved. I've been up since 2:30am for work and have yet to eat anything. It's now noon and my stomach thinks my throat has been cut.

Hurry! ! !

Abdulla's cookbook will come to the rescue.
Lgeimat:
Ingredients:
3 cups of flour
2 1/4 cups of warm water (depends on type of flour used)
1/2 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon instant yeast
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
1/2 teaspoon of saffron
Frying oil (shallow)
Preparation:
1-Add all ingredients (except the oil) to a deep pot to create the dough.
2-Leave the dough for 1 hr until it doubles in size (depending in room temperature)
3-Put the oil in a frying pan on medium heat, make sure oil doesn't fill more than half the depth of the pan.
4-Drop bite-sized amounts of dough by hand or with a spoon and keep on turning until they turn golden brown.
5-Put the Lgeimat in a strainer or on a drying paper to get rid of excess oil
6-Place the Lgeimat on a plate, pour molasses on them and decorate with sesame seeds.

Last night I went down to the other house where I feed a few cats to see what comes out at night. First there were cats ( a mom and two youngsters), then a coon appeared, once more the cats came back, and later it was the turn for the opossum. It was interesting (atleast to me) as to who is hoping catfood is still there once it gets dark out.


I work at a animal shelter and this is what happens when we feed the strays....

Any advice for moving a tortoise and 5 box turtles, and minimizing stress? We are only moving about a mile away, so I'm not worried about the car ride or anything.

Littlefoots enclosure is a 75 gallon tank + stand, and is ridiculously heavy. We'll need to completely take it down. That's ok, because its time to replace his coir and moss anyways. So, items like hides and dishes will go in a box, other stuff gets removed and chucked, tank gets moved, set back up, Littlefoot goes in.

Box turtles live in a 55 gallon Rubbermaid. I'm thinking taking them out, and just moving the box and it's contents would work?

I would take the turtles/tort out and place them in small plastic containers (perhaps their soaking ones?) with some paper towels in with them. Keep them warm, out of the sun or where air may blow on them. Keeping them in the dark (like wrapped in a towel) also will keep them less active and less chance of stress.

Lol, they come out when ever food is around.

I actually enjoy working at the shelter, you can see our website at www.houstonBARC.com

I have worked here 5 years, but have about 10+ years of experiance working with animals. Not including having reptiles growing up.

View attachment 97222
It wont look like that, but still :p
Then you should live here! I see possums and raccoons every night, but I don't eat them :p
Not a good place for a little tort! :eek:
Yep, trust me, they are NOT fun... they are mean, and they sit on the flowers/eat them, they poop EVERYWHERE, and it's like a nightly battle to beat them... :(
