Pookie's Minions - Pookie's Gone ☹

[FranktheTank]

Congrats Gina!! Gianna is absolutely beautiful, her colors are stunning. I have to agree with a comment earlier, she looks so much like Pookie to me. It's cool how tall she stands, very interested in seeing her surroundings. I am so happy for you, I hope you have so much fun with her and she brings you more and more joy each day.

Thanks everyone!
I just absolutely adore Gianna! She already has so much spunk and determination to do things her way, like jumping out of her tank only 4 days of being with me (where 1.5 of those were with my parents more than me).

Funny feeding story: I placed her in her feeding bin this morning and dumped about 5 crickets inside. She sat there completely motionless for the longest time, then started to get antsy so I picked her up. After sitting on my hand for about 10 minutes, I lowered her down to see the crickets for the odd chance that perhaps she'd change her mind. She did lunge at the bin just as a cricket walked by, so I put her back in thinking that she wanted to eat. Uh, nope! As soon as she was in, she wanted out again. OK, fine, I'll pick you up again. Shortly after holding her, again, I thought, "I wonder if she'd eat at least one cricket if I handed it to her." WELL, 7 crickets later, she was content once again. Yup, I'm :whip:

:lol: Wow, Gina, do you suppose Pookie told her how to get around you?

 

[Goonie]

If he did, it was done telepathically, unless he could speed-speak.
Oh wait, he was awake while I had Gianna out a few days ago. I wonder if he spoke with her then :silent:
Being Digi and Pookie's daughter, I wouldn't be surprised if she already picked up their talents of turning me into a well-trained slave, or was born with that talent.

I'll bet all of it was inherited. :lol: We all know you will end up handfeeding some from now on, right? Be honest.

 

[beardie parents]

It's hard not to. I had intended to let Lil Squirt (may change that name and use it as a nickname) continue to eat her greens out of the bowls we use, like Barbara did for her when she had her, but I didn't think she was eating enough so, a couple of days back I hand fed her a green. I rubbed it on the side of her mouth and when she opened her mouth I stuck the piece of greens in her mouth and she ate it. I've never seen her eat greens but I've seen evidence in her tank around the greens bowl that she's been in the bowl at least.

Oh, I completely forgot to post this earlier. I finally brought the scale over (had to go home to clean out the fridge/freezer - ICK!) and weighed Gianna. She's 36 grams. Is that small for a 2.5 month old??

 

[diamc]

I would say 36 grams is pretty good for a 2 mo old. She's gonna be a big beardie, can tell by the length of her legs, toes and body.

She is very long, huh? I'll have to measure her when we get home tomorrow.

 

[sweetiepie9]

She really is long bodied, and 36g is a good weight for a 2 mo old, for sure! Diane's right, you can tell by the size of her feet & the length of her toes that she's going to be a big beardie, but how could she not with Pookie & Digi as parents :mrgreen: She's just beautiful and she'll be chomping on those crickets more & more. But only if you feed them to her, of course. She's like Issy, once Roger started feeding her crickets by hand, that was the end of her chasing them! So have fun being beardie whipped (but who of us isn't?) :lol:
