I figure i better start a new round since my second round is over 134 post.

I start this round of with the mental image of a Glider trying to climbing in my pants for you. lol I spent some time with the Trio and actually had fun with them ( finally can show off and they not crabbing.) I had to stop at the local pet store and grab a couple mice for the smaller snakes to snack on. I was able to show them off to a couple curious kids, One of (my ) kids jumps off me runs over to the one kid's shoe peed on it and ran back to me going up my pant leg. between the laughing, my pants moving on their own and the squirming I was doing you think I had a ferret or a Rottweiler attacking me. Well after 3 minutes and a quick trip to their bathroom to retrieve the child. The parents of the child were more worried that the glider might of gotten injured plopping on the floor than their child shoes. On the other zoo Kahless is doing good watching anyone as they go near his cage. I got to work with him more and figure out which colony he will be meeting. Still (debating/thinking) of how to cause the next gen of gliders to happen lol..


Vino actually has come to me from across the cage at least 3 times now I am so happy he adjusting great to his new life with us and I not seen a seizure in a few months and that with cage changes ( mainly clean pouches and such)

It's a good thing you didn't

But I'm sure your kids had fun!

Oh happy day!

Thanks for giving me a smile today!

I took time this morning to say high to all the kids, and pulled kahless out of his cage and proceeded to rub his head,belly,and back with one finger as I held him and he crabbed in the pouch for a while. he slowed up and between crabs you can hear the happy beeps he was making, I think he enjoying the attention and loves or could been the dried papaya he was holding on to as I gave him the attention.

Oh well, dried papaya or not, it's a start! Lol.

some concerning news today, We seen blood on vino's fish snacks the last couple times we given him a treat,( most treats never needed that kind of chewing effort.) We thinking that his improper diet will be found the cause of this and may result in some teeth being removed. Oh not a good day for my boy I got to schedule this appointment and want to do so so if he needs doing he can be done that morning and I can him ( and hoping Kahless back home after neutering all the same day since it house rule no breeding goes on here,( which sucks I wanted to at least have a hand in the next Gen of Tucker clan lol.

Sorry to hear, poor guy! Please keep us posted on how Vino is doing.

Hope all things go well with both Vino and Kahless.

Gliders can cartwheel lol Kahless was running in his little wheel a couple nights ago and went to jump onto the cage, just happened I had open the door to put his food in while he was running. He goes cartwheeling out the cage to hit the wall and proceeds to run around and down the steps and into downstairs bathroom with a splash. He panic and climbed onto my wife then started to bounce around again in bathroom I just yetvatcher to close the lid and then we will caught him. So after his Buick dunk and a proper bath to make sure he was chemical free we troweled him down and placed him back in the cage and a few treats later he was happy lucky for him out upstairs is warmer than rest of house plus he got to crab at us all he wanted. And by this morning back to his normal self.

Glad to hear it ended well!

So I small rant and recent update ( thanks to my wife ) This weekend while i Was at work She reposed my trio up for adoption and they were pickup before I got off work Saturday. I was only told this about an hour before the lady got there and picked them up. I was mainly upset cause she didn't ask me if i wanted to keep Elda or anything. I was more-less told here the 200 I got for them cage and all. I know she didn't want the pair from the school to stay cause they didn't get along with anyone plus I was told they were staying from the get go once the surgery was over. I never argued with her about it but I was really upset she did so behind my back and I didn't get to say goodbye. Outside the hole she tore in my heart I know I can get over it. and once i can get her phone I shall contact the lady if my wife not erased the number and request updates on them. I will also be letting my wife know that she does a stunt like this again I shall just take my next x paychecks and repurchase myself a breeding group.

I'm sure that was upsetting, but don't be too hard on her. Just ask her for the contact info so you can get updates on them, I'm sure she'll give it to you.

oh I will get it I going to grab the info once she showering this morning.

Well Kahless is part of my Horde ( what we refer to the colony he living with) They are on Camera to lol, i have a Security camera on their cage ( for a while now) plus the other 2 outside that can be viewed remotely. We are off for the weekend to the sunshine state ( if it not raining) for a wedding and hopefully a little down time. While a friend watches and feed the kids while we are gone.

Enjoy your trip! Travel safe and fingers crossed for great weather.

great trip i came home and relaxed after getting my truck back(it needed some work while i was down. Kids little mad but they ok. i got to install my water blocks to my pc and realized ordered the wrong fittings (took larger hoses) but i replaced all my hoses anyway so i jut have 2 types of sizes.but hey it running no leaks I might have to turn this into a side hobby lol if i know enough people lol .
My wife got a lot of stuff I got a few things ( most my stuff was larger ticket items lol.( like a necklace for her.

Glad to hear all went well!

sounds like you had a great trip! Glad all went well!

Well We settle down from vacation and the mad rush to get caught up ( for me ) with non work stuff so Vino and Sterling( cause wife still worried that only one upper tooth in front and both bottom teeth he might be biting his gum a little) have their vet appointment.

I am not sure if Vino weight lose ( which right now is a good thing) is due too tooth issues or lack of all the junk food he use to get at previous owner has help him lose weight)the boy can jump again ( not great distance ) but more than 2 ft so far. He still scary cat and even in my shirt pocket this morning he shivering like he had the poop scared out of him.

So vet report lol. Vino and Sterling will be going back in for dental and some removals.
Vino mainly to see where the bleeding coming from when he chewing on snacks and if needed removals.
Sterling will have more teeth removed since the removal of one tooth has shifted his bite some and now the bottom teeth are now hitting the gum. Also verified that he has gone blind since he came here( had poor eyesight when came but it gotten worse.) We figure he had and knew it was a possible outcome of him being a cremino. Due to the fact he was not bother by the lights and he would go to grab anything that brushed his whiskers and bite first.

Freya ( who we took along to be Vino support buddy) remembered her vet visit and once in the room bolted down my shirt( I had a tanktop style on and outer shirt) and just stayed there and shook until we left.

Future plans are to schedule the Dental visits( looking at After holidays due to the number of appointments they have for shots since it will be boarding season) and pamper them all(as always)

Wishing all goes well!

Thanks Terry. Sadly Vino had a seizure this morning, He doing ok now but he took a hard fall from the pouch during it. I had gone to retrieve my phone i had left at work.
My wife calls me once I text i had it. He was hanging on the side of the pouch peeing and just in a daze as she open the door and went to touch him he started actively seizing and before she could grab for him fell to the cage bottom. seizing. after about 20-30 seconds he stopped and she held him and kept him warm until I got home. as he came around we do like we normally do when we caught him having these attacks and calmly talk to him and rein-sure he ok and give him plenty of love and treats. I actually kept him in my shirt sleeve for over 2 hours this morning and just now putting him back. He was back to his normal self and actually was popping in contentment while in my shirt.

I'm glad here Vino is OK from his fall, and he had cuddle time with you!

It was good thing wife was there to check on the gliders and got to him right away.

I am going to make a quick rant and a warning to other if offered stuff.

I came in ot work Friday and someone seen my glider stickers on the truck. We chatted for a few as they loaded his Fridge on and the son( friend (who ever) strapped it in place. Well they offered me their old pockepet cage as their glider died during the summer and it been sitting by the shed since. I figure hey if I cant use it I knew of other who could. ( wildlife rescue person loves them for squirrel transportation)
SO I said sure just place it in my truck as I might be busy with a customer.. About an hour later I see them come back and get the other piece since both items didn't fit in the truck, and as i walk by the door i can see the cage with a bag on top in my truck bed. Skip ahead about 3 hours. I go out on my lunch break and check the bag figuring it cool enough that i didn't need to refrigerate anything right away. (it about 46 Degrees and windy) I sit in the truck for a second making a note to self the pouch needs to be tossed as it was a mess and full of pine needles. I sat down and there a note in the top of the bag. AS I read it my jaw sitting on the floor and I get the most horrible feeling ever. Rushing to the cage and in that ragy old pouch full of pine needles was the most shivering scared and cold glider I ever seen. if not for how fat he was ( guess being fed a wild bird food mix full of high in fat seed and nuts saved him) I snatched up my spare pouch in the truck ( always keep one lol) and grab him pluck him in the pouch and into the break room I ran( yes I ran) I didn't care he was panicking and biting my hand. I took a pic and sent my wife of the note and she flips out on me accusing me of having a co worker writing it and I had planned to pick this glider up. Heated arguments and threats later Margaret Biddle a local glider slave I started is called and now caring for the little guy. I am more upset that i was accused of having another person writing the letter than I was over him being left in the cage without a heads up.

My warning to all is to always keep a spare pouch and cage ready encase it needed. I shocked this little guy survived 3-4 hours in the cold wind and who knows how long he had pine needles as bedding.

What the...

I'm sorry Terry, I'm glad you found him when you did and were able to find someone to care for the poor thing.

Ditto...

Still upset over how he was dumped and irked with my wife over thinking i write a fake note to get him. but he happy with our friend and is being spoiled like mad.

I understand. Will you be able to keep us posted on this little guy once in awhile? I'd like to know how he's doing.

Me too!

Hey Terry, did you all get the earthquake where you live? I hope you are all well.
