• Crazy Beast dog got hold of the backyard gopher tortoise and I had to chase him like an idiot to rescue it. He put one tiny hole in its shell. Poor thing is spending the weekend at the wildlife hospital for just in case antibiotics. It should be fine and hopefully return ‘home’ next week.

    Very sadly I’ve decided I need to ask the wildlife hospital if they can relocate the sweet tortoise. Looking at my yard and knowing my dog, I’m afraid I can’t guarantee the little sweetie a completely safe yard. Makes me so sad. 😢

    …and the wildlife hospital told me the tortoise has to return to my yard. Only thing I can think to do is put up some sort of fence. At least the tortoise chose the far side of the yard for it’s burrow. I do love that grumpy little face.

    Trying to prepare to move the veileds back in my bedroom to get their humidity down, but such a rotten job I have to procrastinate just a while longer.

    Humidity stays in mid to high 40’s even with central ac, room ac and room dehumidifier. The room has proven too small for so many mist heads and plants. The veileds haven’t had a clean shed since I moved them in.

    Well if it makes you feel better mid to high 40's is perfectly fine for them. That is where Beman sits daytime in the hybrid cage.

    There’s a few reasons for moving them. When I initially set them up, I didn’t figure that I’d be needing better access to their plugs, mist heads and such. Going to make sure everything is within better reach this time.

    I am following Will Thread’s guidelines of using a Fog Prince system for 1 hour, 23 times daily. D3 given 1 lb mixed into daily feeding of cotton candy and pickles. Enclosure is standard 2x2x2” with lots of plastic clouds and rainbows. My unicorn and alien aren’t like others and they get along just fine and are always nice and bright.

    Bright colors are an obvious sign of stress in aliens. Please see the alien care-sheets in the husbandry section. Sorry if I came across a little harsh, but I only want the best for your E.T.
    You make it through the storm, okay?

    Yes. My plastic shed came apart and my ancient fence got another band aid, but that is all. Didn’t even lose power, for which I am soooo happy about. How about you?

    Lost power for a couple of hours and 2 inches of rain a few tree limbs down. Wasn't as bad as Ian.
    You ready for the new storm?

    I’m going to pretend that there is no storm. According to small child logic, if I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist. 😋
    Plus, hurricane season officially ended a few days ago, so this storm is illegal and needs to be promptly apprehended.

    I’ll take antics like that over what mine do. Friday AM dog broke coffee cup he stole off kitchen counter - he wanted to lick the drop of coffee left in it. Friday PM before work he ate 2 full sized chocolate bars (1 dark chocolate) while I was in shower. Induced vomiting & had to again Saturday AM when he was a gross dog.
