[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1951753, member: 89387"] Hi... So it's cold here too -- 25f when my husband left for work this morning. He bundles up and walks when he doesn't need the car for some reason (groceries after work, etc). His current office is only about a mile away (still on covid lockdown closed to the public, and the infection rate is still rising here in Alaska). Our heater is a little weird. The thermostat is up against an outside wall so it goes crazy when the outside temperature gets colder, and actually makes it too hot in here, so I have to keep adjusting the thermostat down when it gets colder outside. It took a while to learn how to keep it from actually getting too hot for the reptiles as well as running up the gas bills. We had our house weatherized a few years ago and the newfangled computerized and supposedly more energy efficient heater came with the deal, but the house is still poorly insulated and they couldn't get it much better, so it's still cold by the windows and doors and things ice up in the arctic entry and on some of the windows. Fortunately, we're able to keep Puff at comfortable temperatures for him most of the year. I've never had to use CHEs, fortunately, because I don't like them. My husband would be happy to hear that some of the football teams donate to charity. I guess baseball is going on now too -- one of the shows we like to watch (Cosmos) got preempted by a baseball game last night. I guess they're still playing in spite of the plague also. I can imagine you and your dad having fun with each other when the Eagles play against the Seahawks. :mrgreen: Last night was Puff's new scheduled bath and feeding, with a break on Monday. He still didn't eat anything, not even his favorite Repashy Grub Pie. So he may be getting pretty serious about brumating and we'll have to watch his weight carefully. Lights on at 7am this morning, and he gave me "The Look" and went in his hide at 8am. Jamie is getting to a pretty respectable age! It seems hard to get beardies to drink water -- Puff ignores his water dish except that once in a great while he poops in it. Once in a while he will drink water if we dribble it on his nose in his bath, and he also seems to dump a little puddle of water along with his poop sort of like Broly. He'd probably be hydrated enough if he would regularly eat his greens but no go. :roll: Squash helps too -- the little cubes soak up water like little sponges. Fortunately he'll eat squash once in a while -- seems to make for a good laxative too. His favorite seems to be kabocha squash and I don't blame him. We cooked up some for ourselves and it's really good -- tastes a little bit like sweet potatoes. I forget the brand name of the food that I fed my gerbil, but it was a mixture of various things like sunflower seeds and I can't remember what all else -- we didn't feed him any live worms. He did alright on that diet. It was really cute when he'd hold a sunflower seed in his little hands and crack open the shell and eat the seed inside. It's my understanding (from what one of our reptile vets told us) that mealworms are "junk food" for beardies -- it won't kill them but basically no nutritionally redeeming value. We tried using them for salad croutons in order to encourage Puff to eat his salad, but he's (of course) perfectly capable of picking out the worms without eating the greens. The same thing goes for using Repashy Grub Pie juice for "salad dressing." -- He doesn't like it if it's got greens with it. Oh well. :| One good TLDR deserves another, huh? :wink: Stay safe and warm... [/QUOTE]
