It is hard to type this post while patting myself on the back .

I removed all the critters from their winter housing. I returned them to their outdoor enclosures.

Because the weather was finally nice enough.

As some of you know, Ken is sick af which means I had to do it all myself.

You can bet I just finished a hard day’s work.

I got dirty, I am tired and hungry.

Ultimately, each resident has been placed in their normal enclosures and out of winter housing.

Some critters are pretty big like Speedy Parker Stump, well over 100 pounds.

One reason I brag is because I want people to realize this. We only keep the critters we can care for.

If I can not do this alone, we will have too many critters.

Besides, people often give us a hard time because we re-home critters.

It was about three hours of steady work.

Place the resident in the enclosure.

Clean the watering bowl. Add clean water overflowing to help draw the critters to a fresh drink.

They were housed in a dry barn for a few days straight.

Secondly, after water is added, there will be lots of foraging material that will get the residents active. For example, I scattered weeds, cactus, and hibiscus blooms around each area. If any of the critters do not promptly grub down, I know I need to spend time assessing the situation.

Yet, they all consumed every single pile.

Braggin’ is just sharin’.

At least, I hope so.

I brag so others know life hacks, better known as herp hacks, save us time and money.

I brag to share the hacks that make us successful.

Well, me and my gorilla carts.

Thank you to our supporters for helping us raise funds for these earlier in the year.

They put the work in by allowing me to load them up with heavy tortoises.
