They're both well, fat and active, but not as nutty aggressive as over the summer. I got moss for them as well as new hide and soaking bowl, and furniture was a hit but working so much it took some time to get moss in there. Uki was fine with it but Banjo refused to sit or burrow unless I cleared a space for her. So, perfectly good moss, tossed. That lil girl has the final silent say.

My father died last month. It's almost not right to say it was unexpected, but it really was. Dialysis related blood infection. He survived a massive stroke, kidney failure, and had an implanted defibrillator. Over the last 8yrs. He coded, they revived him, but unconscious, he went into cardiac arrest and they couldn't bring him back. I swear that if he hadn't been unconscious, he would still be alive. My dad was a fighter, a survivor. I got a lot more than the genetic disease from him. That's my takeaway.
So I had to go home for 3 days (home is NJ) and fed toads til they just sat swallowing, full, left fresh water, had Paul peek at them, and they were fine.

Right before all that, Walmart had NO worms, so I panicked that they weren't getting more so bought dubia and mealworms. Walmart did restock, (turns out my complaint that they were mostly moldy got things moving, yeah go me!) but the gals were roach happy up until yesterday when I ran out. I hid them, in box and container they arrived in, so sort of in plain sight... Felt bad, cuz he doesn't want roaches in his house, but at the time, I felt I didn't have a choice. Fatties gotta eat.

I really miss my breeding dubia. Someday, some way... Cuz with no bug faces to feed, my carrots go bad. Not breeding creepy crawlies is just wasteful.

Thanks for inquiring about them; I've meant to update, but I don't get email notifications anymore, so tonight I just wandered over here on a whim. Ought to do that more often.
