Well I have been owned by Biggie Smalls (aka Biggs) for 2 months now. I am learning lots about being a slave to him and also lots about myself. I worry constantly ( which I believe is his ulterior motive) and laugh at both of our antics while getting to know each other. Just wanted to share some of our life lessons.
1. Bugs are not as scary as I always thought! I still can’t touch them (that’s what the hubby and son are for) but I can scoop them up into a cup and feed my boy. Although he prefers to jump into the cup and eat them cave lizard style. I sure do feel bad to whoever is holding a red solo cup this summer :lol:
2. He recognizes people and prefers me. Everyone gets mad at me cause if I talk he turns to watch me and if he finds me he will try to fly to get to me.
3. Now that he has learned that exploring can be fun......no matter how much you clean he WILL find a corner with dust and come out very pleased with himself and full of dust. Gotta get on my hands and knees now when cleaning to make sure I get every corner....
4. I always thought I was a patient person but I am reaching new levels of patience. Nothing like sitting at a window for an hour just so Mr Biggs can get his fill of looking at whatever he sees that interest him so much.....oh well dishes won’t run away and will wait.
5. He is growing so fast. Last month he was 13 inches and 113 grams. Today he is 16.5 inches and 202 grams.....I switched to Dubia as his staple feeder and he seems to be doing much better. He eats his collard greens, mustard greens, and other salad only if I hand feed him. ( yup another lesson in patience for me)
6. He loves to poop on me
7. If I put my hand to block wherever he is trying to go that he shouldn’t, like under couch, under stove etc. he will head butt my hand and give me stank eye.....
8. He loves to attack yarn if I’m trying to crochet and/or claim the blanket by lying on it!
9. He discovered the one spot in my kitchen that is getting some sun and it’s his favorite spot. I’m thinking of getting a cat climbing play thing for him. Can’t wait for this New England weather to warm up.
10. I wanna be able to sleep like him. The weirder the position the more comfy he is.
Here he is claiming his blanket......
One of his more daring sleeping positions.....just hanging showing off his sexy leg
Making Mommy sit and look out the door with me. Hahaha I can do this forever.
Ahhh sunshine.

vet recommends putting diggable substrate in half her enclosure. Any thoughts on this? LOL everything I have been educating myself on has been geared toward males now I guess it’s time to educate on females. LOl
