Here is Opo's temporary enclosure. I have Opo on the screened porch with his hide with a CHE just outside of it. Also have a night box with a Kane mat inside. Food and water dish. All sitting on 3 washing machine drip trays side by side with coco coir and mulch. So now I added this outside enclosure that he will get to from a tortoise door. This should make him happier. I also wont have to take him outside 2 or 3 times a day Chasing him around the backyard. This is until I get the backyard fenced in.
I will post the construction of it on another post. View attachment 275799 View attachment 275800
Though I coudn`t see Opo the enclosure looks good. Kind of "majestic" ( the fence ).:D

I'm going to look up that little one on the internet again. Things like species,length of life,etc. I've been protecting the ones I find for several years but they've always lived in the lower part of our yard. I somehow get to see them after they get older. This little one is special. I'll probably have to keep it a little bit close to like his favorite haunts.
Protecting our world starts with protecting little creatures living in our garden.:rolleyes::) I really love your idea of toad hides and houses to protect them. Give them flat water bowls to crawl in and out and they will love you:):<3:

That's sad. Dilly is my brother's cat and somewhat likes my brother best sometimes. I picked him for Joe but I'm the one that actually takes care of him. He's 12 years old and it would be hard to lose him. He tells me what's going on in our home. In cat talk.
Oh yes, cats can talk ( when they want to ). My cats mostly tell me that they are hungry ....:D but their plate is full ! meow... meow.... ( the food is way too old, it`s one hour old !! ) that`s what my cats tell me. Silly creatures !:)

The mirror box is for me. If you take a box and split the box into 2 compartments with the mirror. Put 2 holes in the side of each compartment to get your hands in. On the side of the box with my good left hand. I can see my hand in the mirror. My apputeed right hand is in the other compartment so I cant see it. The reflection of my left hand in the mirror is supposed to fool my brain about my right hand and relieve the fantom pains. Some suggested it to me on TFO. I can't remember who to give the credit to.
Okay. That is very interesting. I never heard before about a mirror box against fantom pains but I can imagine that it will work.
Good luck with your box !

. . . and they tell you that they can't eat the crumbs. They'll eat all the kibble that is still in their original, whole shape, but when it gets down to broken pieces or crumbs, they'll starve before they'll eat those.

I feel the same way. I can't save them all but I can try to help the ones that live around me.

Those are great pics Heather with good descriptions too. That bridge is incredible and I love the rock formations.
I find it fascinating to see layers in rocks, it's incredible to think how long ago they were formed.
You all look as if you have had a very happy family holiday!

Dilly says meyum in the morning when I feed him and shakes one of his back legs. He has other vocals too for specific things going on. If there's a bug in the house, he makes a different meow. I can be in another room and know what he said. It's hilarious.
