Emmett, EMILIO, Emma..RIP sweet Emily

[sweetiepie9]

Glad to hear they're doing well!
And I can sure understand being nervous now when it rains. I'm so sorry Tonya that you have to live with this fear.

 

[Tonja]

Thanks sweetie. I will eventually get over it but never lightning or thunder lol. I cant believe how much Geico and Emily have grown. They are now slowing their growth rate and should, they have eaten me out of house and home lol. I will feed them salad about 5:30 or 6 tonight...I love Geico's lip smacking when he get a bit of mango and endive then when done chewing he opens his mouth for more lol just like a baby bird would.

 

[sweetiepie9]

That's so funny, wish mine would do that, eat I mean!

You need to get a video camera to keep set up to video her when she rearranges her home. It would be great to watch. :lol:

[beardie parents]

Boy, they both look great! Emily looks very colorful.

I think they are slowing down a bit..they ate supper about an hour and a half ago and Emily crawled under her hammock, tucked her head under her bunny and went to sleep. Geico climbed up in his hammock and started to drift off so put Em in her hammock and covered them up and same with Geico...hopefully they will stay put for the night. Snowed again here last night so its been chilly all day but they are nice and warm under their new lights. Their lights needed changing out to higher wattage bulbs for the winter since I don't use the heat to much.

Geico and Emily say goodnight to each of you! All tucked in for the night under fluffy blankie..Em on her bed and Geico in his hammock.

It's growing colder here in Colorado and expecting our 3rd snow of the year on Monday, we will see. Emily is slowing down a bit and I find her under her hammock trying to sleep about 7:30 and she's not wanting to eat as much as normal so cut them down to 2 feedings a day. I need to cut them back to 2 feedings a day also due to the fact that Geico is fast approaching 700 grams and Emily 600 grams although they are not fat I don't want them to get there. Not much more to say about the two lol but, I do need to set up a video camera to catch Emily and her housekeeping and may do that in the next few days.
I was down in the basement yesterday going through whats left of my Christmas decorations and found my village..all 500 pieces and may set it up for Christmas so it looks a bit like Christmas in the house. I cannot replace my Christmas tree this year with all the other flood expenses so got a little Charley Brown tree to put up...a twig with a red ball on it and a blue blanket to put around the base lol. Found all my nutcrackers since I am a nutcracker fanatic and got them washed and cleaned up so I can put them out. Need to replace my Nativity but that's going to be easy to replace. Got a few more totes to go through and clean up the rest of the decorations...what a mess! But progress is coming along with that. Yall take care and will try to get a video up of Emily housekeeping if I can catch her.

I'm sitting here giggling at the thought of watching a female beardie moving stuff around her home. :lol:

Hi Tonja,
My Zilla is 700g and I don't think he's fat, but yes I don't want him to get that way either. Lol

I have a camera set up on his tank. I got it at Best Buy and I think you can add as many as five to the system. I LOVE it. It will record motion and save it. I check in on him 'live' through out the day as well too. It's an Izon. Very small and simply plugs into the wall for power. I have the app on my phone and even check on him while driving. (As a passenger).

Ok, just wanted to say hi.

Brenda.

 

[Tonja]

Hi Brenda and thanks for stopping in. I have a camera I just need to charge it then put it on the tripod so I can capture her housekeeping lol. Shes kind of funny, she wants things where she wants them, not where I want them so I let her just do it her way but I want to catch her in the act. Geico only moves his toys around as he sometimes plays with his stuffies. Mine are only a yr and a half old so I worry about their weight gains..I don't want them overweight where it causes them problems so cut back to 2 feedings a day with 3 days of calcium and 2 days of vitamins.

Got some news, Home Depot bless their hearts donated a huge 7.5 foot Martha Stewart Alexander fir tree with pine cones on it, 700 lights and over 1000 tips on it to my family then Lowes donated a tree skirt, four small boxes of ornaments for it and 2 packages of garland for the tree. Home Depot also donated a huge train set for under the tree. When I get it set up, I am going to let Geico and Emily ride on the coal car and get some pictures. Yes the train set is that big. I am blessed and God is good as always. I am excited now for Christmas! Would be with or without a tree. I have enough to decorate the tree with the pine cones on it and cant wait for Emily and Geico to enjoy it with us. Both of my little scamps are sound asleep all tucked in. I still cant get over how much they have grown and gained weight. Both are big! Oh and a company called me today and will donate the dirt we need to fill in the window wells and under my back porch so that will be done sometime this coming week. As I said I am blessed and God is good. My prayers for my yard to be fixed are answered!

 

[sweetiepie9]

That's great about the tree and decorations, looking forward to the train rides! And the dirt, too? That is wonderful. Makes for a great Xmas all around!

 

[Tonja]

Yes it will be a great Christmas all the way around now and would have been no matter what...this picture of Geico and Emily's train does not do the size justice.

and here is our tree Home Depot donated

we will definitely get a video of Geico and Em on their train lol.
