What was I thinking?

[Scooter]

I planted a variety of seeds in Thors enclosure (some flowers some greens). For some reason I thought they would last long enough to grow into something. What was I thinking?

What? You planted them for me!

These are mine you better back off!

I love the last picture!!!! I am still laughing!

I cant get my young sulcata or my baby leopard to graze in their enclosure... they just trample all their little plants. Congrats to you... he'll be a good little grazer

That is sooooooo cute!! It reminds me of Pio when he was a baby. He would do the same thing to the Spring Mix sprouts as they came up. Thor is the cutest Lil' guy.....just perfect.

 

[Scooter]

Thanks guys! I think he is pretty perfect. They sprout a few days ago and this is the first day is has touched them. I was hoping they would get bigger but oh well, how can I be mad at such a cute little guy

My torts have already decimated all the seeds I carefully planted over the winter! What a bunch of piggies!

 

[Scooter]

They just have no respect for how hard we work to get these things growing lol

 

[terracolson]

make a mini fence with Popsicle sticks ... that kind of rhymes huh

 

[dmmj]

Those are his enemies and he must destroy them.

 

[Scooter]

Yes they are! They are invading his enclosure and he must defend his territory.

 

[ChiKat]

Great pics!!! What a cutie.
I tried to plant seeds for Nelson and all that came up was thin, stringy grass- ugh. What seeds did you plant?

 

[Tom]

You thought that stuff would last? With a sulcata?! What WERE you thinking? Ha Ha.

 

[chadk]

Cute pics!

 

[Stephanie Logan]

Well, I could always send Taco out there to teach Thor how to turn up his nose at those specially-planted treats...be careful what you wish for!

Grow, Thor, grow!

 

[heyprettyrave]

did you plant those seeds in his enclosure? just curious

 

[Scooter]

Yes I planted the seeds actually in the enclosure. I planted greens, marigolds and zinnia. I was thinking that since he is so small if he did nibble on them they would still last for a while, boy was I wrong.

 

[Candy]

Well he surely looks like he's enjoying them. Cute little face he has.

 

[Scooter]

Thank you! I also have Christmas cactus, moss rose an petunia planted in his enclosure. He grazes on the cactus and petunia but just tramples the moss rose.

 

[heyprettyrave]

what an awesome idea, im totally going to do this. now, what about dandelions?

 

[Scooter]

I love having the plants in there and watching him walk around eating them and trampling all over them. I tried to grow some dandelions but they only lasted a few days, and not because Thor ate them, I forgot to water them haha.
