get rid of that water bowl !!!!

[mattfish]

Well its been a while now and i thought i would give an update on my Awesome decision to GET RID OF THE NASTY WATER BOWL. Mr Pickles is Over 8 inches now and is doing great! Many said that i was not smart but how wrong they are. I only have to clean the substrate in his cage about once every 3 months. He NEVER goes to the bathroom in his cage anymore. It was kaos at my house for a couple weeks with the kids getting the flu and then i finally got it and i totally forgot to feed him. Yesterday he started croaking and croaking and croaking. He never did that before and so i quickly unthawed some Num-numms for him. the instant i put him in his feeding tank (different than his home tank) He immediately pooped and peed. I cleaned it up and then He ate with gusto. after his meal i filled that tank up with about 2 inches of luk-warm declorinated water and he took his usual after dinner soak for an hour or so. I love NOT having to clean nasty waterbowls or filterpads of water features anymore, plus He is the most colorful and beautiful Pixie i have ever seen. And yes he does bite! (:
