[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1850858, member: 89387"] So we survived another weekend (just barely). Nothing earth shaking -- the usual. My husband and I actually got a little housework done after we finished with critter care on Saturday. Robbie the Robot vacuum cleaner got to run around in the living room and kitchen, and probably almost choked on all the crud... :roll: It's been a long time. :oops: I almost always seem to have a hard time getting back into the swing of things after my husband goes back to work on Monday... :| We've had some cloudy drizzly days, but no real bad wind storms or anything. The snow is almost gone. We're waiting for dandelions. Meanwhile, Puff's almost out of greens so Daddy has to run to the grocery store after work tomorrow. And I think our last batch of "medium" sized crickets were mislabeled. They're very big and very chirpy compared to what we usually get. Puff doesn't seem to mind at all. I like to err on the side of feeding him bugs that are just a little too small rather than too big -- so he can handle the next size up, but younger ones do tend to last longer. I know that crickets are nearing the end of their life cycle once they start chirping, although the sound doesn't bother me. It's actually rather pleasant -- reminds me of summer nights in California when I was a little kid. My husband has lost some of his hearing in the high frequency range where they chirp, so he can barely even hear them at all, but I knew something was unusual when he brought them home. Puff usually eats all of the smaller ones long before they get big enough to start chirping. I agree with you -- what's the point of having a "pet" if you don't cuddle it and play with it and "pet" it? It's no fun if all you do is feed it and water it and clean up after it. The cuddling is what makes all those other chores worth it, as far as I'm concerned. But it seems like reptiles are "collector's items" for some people, and part of the fun of the "hobby" for them is to fix up a beautiful enclosure with live plants and all sorts of fancy stuff. Nothing wrong with that, as long as the critter is getting well taken care of and getting what it needs. Some animals are cuddlier than others. BTW, my husband recently attended an IT expo -- they're good for his career -- he gets to keep up on the latest technology and schmooze with other computer geeks, and usually comes home with a bunch of little promotional trinkets -- laser pointers, tiny data storage devices, etc, and darned if his little bag of goodies didn't include a Fidget Spinner. First one I've ever seen in person. I think I can see the appeal. I might get hooked... :mrgreen: :wink: [/QUOTE]
