I had my Greeks on a staple diet of Spring Mix until Friday when I ran out. I was feeding the 3 a single 1.5lb bag daily. Supplemented with various greens. Today I went to get 3 more cases and they told me that organic greens like that must be packaged. So now you can no longer help your self...

My favorite organic store changed suppliers for their bulk spring mix and my torts barely touch it. They are back to eating from the container type pre-packed salads. They still love the bunches of greens. I guess that should tell us what not to eat.

This morning I found my GF's 3Toed Russian Boxie having a bad morning. His rectum was inverted to the point of forming 2 tight bubbles and bleeding sometimes. Never saw this condition this bad. I took him home to keep an eye on him till we can get him to the vet tomorrow. Soaking for...

Today my LPS informed me that they will not stock Cypress mulch because Cypress is not a renewable source. It's on the list of trees that are irreplaceable and necessary to the survival of Louisiana Swamps. Zoomed forest floor was my favorite. How about that mulch from Lowz? What's the...

Is this pre-adolescent behavior or bullying? They are barely 2. The larger sibling is pushing the little one into the wall than ramming, and now mounting. Warning: Explicit photo. Can the little one get hurt?

You can tell a lot about about ones lifestyle by the foods in the fridge. Mine is full of greens and healthy stuff. You'd think I was on the George Atlas course. Where's the beef? Not. That healthy green stuff is for my kids. I get my salads on the burger at the brewery or a dish of...

My coworker and I bought a 25lb bag of Mazuri. My Greeks really relished the new offerings and have ignored their greens. I mean it's as if they were eating fruit loops on a buzz, complete with perma-smile and glazed eyes. So I hear. When will they eat corn with molasses in the wild...
