hi guys and gals!
well the time has come, and im leaving for 8 days on Tuesday. I have had Blue Belle since she was just a hatchling and now she is 3 months going on 4 months in a few days! What my PLAN is, is this, so let me know what you think...
Lighting: My fiance will turn her lights on when he leaves for work, and shut them off a night before bed. so the lighting is totally under control.
Bathing/Hydration: My best friend is coming over 4 out of those 8 days to give Blue Belle her warm water sink baths. She came over yesterday, i showed her how to do it, then how do wrap her up in her beardie burrito, hold her for a bit and talk to her when she comes out of the towel dried off, then put her back when she has to leave. :lol:
Water Bowl? I do NOT keep a water bowl in her viv. She gets soaks every day. should i have my fiance keep a water bowl in her viv since she will not be getting a bath everyday?
Feeding: this is my mega problem area. im a FREAK about NOT leaving crickets in the tank loose...and she wont be on her "regular" feeding schedule like she is with me. I was thinking about packaging up several salads i make for her in sepereate baggies for him to just put in a bowl and place in her viv everyday. But the crix..although im SURE he will feed her just fine, i LOVE my Blue Belle so much i think im freaking out more that i should be...any thoughts? should i revert to ...ugh, mealworms? wold that be the safer bet while im gone? we dont have silkworms or butterworms around here, just meal worms...but would that be the safer route vs. wandering crickets at night to possibly bite her?
Poop Patrol : im just gonna make him do this b/c it has to be done.
Interraction: The friend coming over to bathe her is in LOVE with Blue Belle. so she will be getting limited but loving interraction. I would leave her with this person, but she will be doing some traveling as well.
Any thoughts about this whole cricket vs. mealworm thing, and water bowl thing? My fiance has the best intentions, but doest fully UNDERSTAND things like we do abotu beardies, or LOVE them like we do, as owners/slaves. ANY thoughts are welcome!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU ALL!!!
