    Right! This forum has been so helpful in listing foods for her. She gets globe mallow, hibiscus, petunia flowers, dandelion, regular mallow, fescue, curly mesquite (local AZ grass), bermuda grass and some London rocket. I'm working on creosote but it smells pretty strong. Pretty soon we will...

I had frozen a Tupperware container of water and put it upside down on the screen of her enclosure outside so there would be water melting down into her enclosure. I also added water to enclosure in the morning...

I live in a residential area but we do have some desert patches in the neighborhood. I checked with AZ game and fish and they said she is a...
