the gang is together

[ZEROPILOT]

My four established Redfoot, 3 females, one male have just met my new three, one male. Two females.
I used a short quarantine for two reasons. One, these new 3 came from just a few miles away. And 2, a microscopic examination of poop from all 3 showed no parasites or eggs. None.
As of tonight the old crew are sleeping in the two night houses and the new trio of newbies are all huddled together in a construction pipe, far away.
They got together momentarily at feeding time and I took this photo.
At least they agree on figs, cactus and hibiscus.

The herd is becoming a hoard.

No, I think you need a few more before that happens

I think that's JD's brood. @N2TORTS, JD - how many do you need before the herd becomes a hoard?

 

[wellington]

Actually, I consider a hoard when you have too many that you can't take care of them properly. That's really not Jeffs herd. They live in luxury

No way, only one queen per house and I'm itShe could stay in the tortoise summer hide. It is 4x8 she'd stay dry, but not warm.
