There's all this new growth (finally) in my yard, all those weeds and stuff my tortoise loves. Unfortunately most of them look tattered now that I am tearing them off and feeding them to her in bundles. At least weeds grow back. Nom nom nom... :tort:

The pet was a fledgling sparrow. My cat had caught it and I took it from her (she stared at me maliciously for a while). I put it inside a small kennel (I have never owned birds so no birdcage) with some branches, a teacup plate with water and some breadcrumbs and left for work (the poor thing...

She has always hated it. This far I haven't been doing it often because I didn't want to torture the poor animal. Now that I have come here I have learned that soaking is good and that covering the soaking place helps with relieving stress. It's true that she calms a bit if soaking place is dark...
