Well, here is little Nina who refuses to take her nap! Instead, she is my winter entertainment!

She looks like she has gained a bit of weight since relocating to Texas! Thanks for posting her photo, she looks really great.

Well, she actually dropped a bunch of weight after the evacuation, and I had a really tough time getting it back on her. I had to resort to hand feeding a few times, and then I tried silk worms. She went nuts! LOL! So, she started eating and hasn't stopped, but every time I try to fast her to brumate, she drops weight again. I wormed her soon after she got here, but maybe I should do it again or get a fecal.

So, have decided not to make her sleep. I'll fatten her up and see what happens in the spring. Naiche is sleeping, so there is hope for little ones.

She is so much better off than she would have been had Barney left her hanging around the new housing developement where she lived. It was very generous of you to take in both her and the little pet shop guy.

They are the cutest little things and Naiche, the pet shop boy, is sooo sweet! It was very hard to put him in the cooler.
