The Rose of Sharon's are starting to bloom. My Sulcata eat them like candy. Also I grow grapes, the actual grapes for my box turtles and the leafs for my tortoises. So Big Sam and Knobby are really happy now

Big Sam really loves ROS, he also gets hay, grazing on grass and weeds100_4547.JPG
it's so easy to feed them Spring and Summer
Knobby has needed a beak trim for a while now. But, darn it, I think his face is super cute with his jaw
that way.

Last but not least is Simon, he is a Main Coon cat and has a melanoma in his right eye. Right now it is covering Simon's iris

I have 7 cats. Two are long haired. One has feline leukemia. They were all stray/feral. We are keeping most of them because we cannot find acceptable homes for them. The cat hair drives my allergies nuts!!!

Generally speaking it's the cat dander not the long hair. Both of my cats sleep on my bed, and I always wake up with fur in my mouth. I've never had more than 2 cats at a time. That's sorta like having 2 or 3 Sulcata

Ah, my cats like to rub their bodies all over my face. It can get quite annoying. And God forbid I forget to give them their wet food in the morning!?

Oh man yes! They want that nasty smelly stuff before I've had my coffee, and the wet food gags me
