View attachment 238427 One and a half days old. At least 6 in the nest, but very hard to count... already much bigger
It is so exciting. The birdies have hatched. Lola is eating on his own. All we need now is for the doc to sort out Dan. Then things will be good again in the CDR.

@Moozillion We haven't had any updates about Jacques. How is the changing of the tank going and your new sterilization water system working out for her?

The sterilizer in the tank seems to be doing a GREAT job keeping the algae down and the water clear! She and I are still struggling engaged in The Great Salmon Battle. The only way I can get her to eat the kibbles right now is to crush them up and smush the bits into the salmon.
Her 40 gallon tank is not started up yet and will remain on hold for a bit longer. 1) work has been super busy, 2) my 21 year old niece from Montana and her boyfriend have been visiting and 3) we’re finally replacing the carpet in 1/2 the house with wood laminate flooring. The installers come TOMORROW and for the last week we have been moving anything breakable or small enough for us to handle into the garage or parts of the house that won’t be re-floored.
So the bigger tank will wait a while longer. [emoji2]

Lol. I was wondering about that. I thought it was my phoning getting the links mixed up and just going back to the old link. How is your back doing Linda? Still improving hopefully.

Getting there. Not perfect, but one heck of a lot better. My shoulder, which was the original problem, is now noticeable again. While my back was really bad, I think I stopped caring about my shoulder [emoji849]

Jacques is well practiced in picky eating. He has trained you well [emoji849]

And I am very glad as tomorrow we are off on an adventure. We have a very early start. Unfortunately that means Mr & Mrs B will be unobserved for a couple of days :(

I’ll keep you posted. :D

That sounds like fun. You'll certainly notice a difference in the birds when you get back as they grow so quickly.
Have a lovey time!

So glad thw sterilizer is working so nicely. I am sure that Jacques and the ghost shrimp appreciate it too. Why do our children always give us such problems when it comes to their food and eating what is good for them. Wow on the flooring. Congratulations I am sure it will look awesome once it is finished but until then good luck with it. I love wood floors. But I am glad I don't have any right now as Scooby-doo is stilling peeing inside the house. At least he is doing it in the bathroom now which is tiled so much easier to clean up. Hubby reckons Scooby-doo thinks that he is human. Because he thinks our bed is his and now he is doing his business in the bathroom. I am just glad he is not doing it on my couch anymore.

Oh dear. When is your next appointment with the osteopath again. Hopefully she can work on the shoulder again. If I remember correctly it did improve a little when she worked on it the last time.
