Love the names, Tami!

[Garter_Gertie]

I like the names!

Sad thing is, I actually remember Frick and Frack. On skates.

Can I go die now?

Nope, won't letcha Be proud of all you've seen and done so far and look forward to all the wonderful things to come

Hubby started calling them Frick and Frack this weekend and I thought it was pretty much perfect I keep aiming for noble, sophisticated names, but never quite get there. LOL

[Zephyr]

lol
How cute.
Did you get to see them go psycho on the food yet?
That was my favorite part at feeding time. lol

[jitami]

Yeah, they're great eaters Kyle!

Today was actually their third meal, but the second got interrupted when I was sure Frick was going to eat Frack or the other way around lol. I'll probably end up separating them in the future, but with just the two to watch and keep track of feeding them together isn't too bad. I'm just a nervous mommy I told my husband that mealtime is considered a success if I have two fat little babies and not just one So far so good

Oh, I'm going to make a new feeding tray for the them, tho. Here's my idea... I'm going to take a small lid, like maybe a gator-aide lid and put screening over open side, then place the chopped up food on the screen so that the "juices" run through the screen and there's nothing making the babies think they should eat the actual tray and it will prevent them from crawling through the liquid scenting themselves as they do. Whatcha think?

[Garter_Gertie]

I love'ya, Ja'tami...

But I feel the La Brea Tar Pits suckin' at my ankles... (whine)

I can't 'see' what you're talkin' about. Just remember - NOT RUFF EDGES! The screen makes me think o'ruff edges...

And if you let them wallow in the goodly juice, you get the joy o'givin' them a BATH! I love giving my boys (all four) a bath! They seem to actually like it but for when I warsh their face(s).

[jitami]

Yeah, we did the bath thing once, but that was the interrupted meal and they probably didn't get to eat nearly as much as they would have if they hadn't been swimming in worm guts

Ok, lid thing hard to picture.... take lid, turn upside down, take like window screening...nothing really sharp, and maybe rubber band it around the outside of the lid(maybe hot glue?) Then place pile o'parts(food) on top so that they're just sticking their heads up onto the edge of the lid and grabbing food, while the juices are running into the upside down lid. With my luck they'll probably crawl right over the pile o'parts, but it can't be as bad as having a puddle to try to eat and crawl through? Did that make sense? I have a hard time picturing things, too, and obviously an even harder time explaining them! lol I'll take a pic when I make it! lol

If it weren't for bath time, my babies wouldn't be as tame as they are today.
Though I do give them baths even if they aren't "dirty." :P
