Alright here is the final setup:
He had a bit of a freakout because it's the first time I "took" him out of his cage, rather than let him out of his cage. So he sprinted to the top and is scared sh**less I imagine.
Whatever cranky pants I just bought you a new house:D
Yeah, I like the way it is right now because if I need to change the angle or area of the light it would be very easy to do so.
And with all the foliage from the plants I got, there will be areas that are HEAVILY shaded and areas that are really open. I'll play with it and get a few pics up.
So I finally got my new cage, 2x2x4 and I bought a plastic shelving unit w/ holes already in each shelf, which takes care of my drainage.
I'll try to explain this without a pic and attach one later:
There is basically a shelf that the cage is resting on and another shelf that is on top of...
I just use a kettle and cook little bits at a time. Less quantity, less smell!
I agree though, it smells like a dirty swamp. If I lived in an area that would allow me to get mulberry leaves, I would do that instead...
So I had an idea ... I bought a bunch of fruits and veggies (dandelion greens, apple, yam, carrot, alfalfa sprouts, oranges, etc) and froze them in baggies.
I rolled them into little veggie sausages so that every day I can just pull one out of the freezer, cut off a piece from the end, nuke...
I played some XBox fps games for a bit (MW2 and Halo 3 & Reach) and holy crap is it difficult to switch from Mouse+keyboard to Controller ... Regardless of being in Amateur leagues for multiple fps games on PC, I sucked baaaaaad. So I'm back to PC Gaming hahaha
I got to play it at blizzcon '11 :cool: Didn't get a beta copy though :(
I'm having a huge nerd fest on release night of D3 ... we're all getting plastered and going to the midnight release, then having a lan in my garage. If anyone else decides to play D3 PM me your name and we can slay...
I know you're out there.
What do you guys play?
I'm a PC nerd myself ... I play wow (yeah yeah I know ...) until D3 comes out ... love starcraft 2. Obviously I'm a blizzard fan, but only because no good FPS games are popular anymore, IMO.
If quake 3: Rocket arena, Counter-strike 1.6...
So I attemped to feed my cham a stick insect ... and hilarity followed :D
I opened the door and he immediately saw it on my finger as I was putting it on the tree...Gotta admit I was kind of trolling him at this point.
As soon as I put the bug on the tree he almost made a facial expression...
So you mixed up the salad with the silkies in it? Maybe they got bashed around a bit? Or perhaps they may have drowned?? I'm not too sure what you mean :(
I can tell you though, that silkies won't live very long if they aren't fed Mulberry Leaves or Mulberry chow. They'll eat whatever...
