    so glad to hear you and your family, both human and non, made it through sandy safe. hopefully the nor'easter doesn't kick your butts as bad. even for being cold and not eating for a week, they are still some of the most purty red eyes around. makes me green with envy (pun intended)

    Thank You !

    They ate well last night ! I never ration food anyway- maybe that extra chub helped keep them warm?
    Food for thought

    We woke up to 4 " of snow this AM. What next ! Long Island is a mess.
    I have lived here my whole life ( a long time ! ). I don't remember ,ever , seeing so much property damage.

    As soon as we can; ( when we will not get ripped off ) we will buying a generator that will be large enough to heat the house!

    If my frogs get stressed/ill from this it will be completely MY fault for having NOT been prepared.
    We had hot water the whole time. My husband and I must have filled a million gallon water bottles to keep the frogs warm. We were placing them directly into the enclosures. I had the 2 tree frog enclosures covered with comforters to keep the heat in. They did not eat the entire time! They must have been so out-of-it without their day/night cycle.

    Best to all !

    Congratulations. I'm glad to hear that the hurricane didn't cause too much damage, and that everyone made it through the hurricane safely. But, the congratulations were more for having managed to keep all the frogs alive despite the terrible circumstances. It takes some doing, so congratulations.
