My grandchildren spent last night and today with me so their parents could finish shopping. It has been raining most of the day. All my critters are inside for about a month til the coldest weather passes. It is a bit difficult for me to carry them all out & in every day cause of my arthritis.
Anyway, there must be something in the air cause my Russians were breeding for the first time, my Redfoots were breeding, and 3 different times different box turtles were breeding. Of course they were being very vocal.
One of my grand daughters (8yrs) asked me why they were on top of each other like that. My other grand daughter (7yrs) piped in with...they both want to sit under the heat light!! Whew!!!
My grandson(10) asked me if I wanted him to sit the male box turtle back on his feet... he didn't know they were attached. I just nonchalantly told him no, to just leave them alone, and to go draw me some more pictures.
If it was up to me, I would have told them what was going on, but my daughter told me they were too young to discuss it.
I am still chuckling.
