It was one of those perfect moments! as I came home from my night shift, made myself a coffee and for the first time grabbed a handful of grass clover and dandelion leafs, thru it in my uromastyx cage and sat there with absolutely nothing to stop me from watching them, I wandered how long it will take for an uromastyx to grace me with his presence? I got my answer within the next 5 minutes, they started coming out one after the other and much to my surprise went directly to the food, they literally stuffed themselves as never before, some basked others went back to sleep but a few where goofing around the cage as if playing. As aim typing this, the coffee pot is whistling the sun is showing me a patch of clover in the yard, I guess this will be one more perfect moment. Wish you could enjoy it too!

Ps. remember my problematic Saharan, well it gained weight and looks fantastic, she eats like theirs no tomorrow, FY she comes out at 2am to bask? Anyhow I couldn’t be more pleased.

Hey thanks for the complement, aim touched as my English often embarrass me.

This morning wasn’t as magical as yesterday, only one came out, however it was my sick female, and seeing her eat with appetite was very nice, aim impressed of how she fatten up so rapidly, at one time I was sure she who’d die, but now you cant tell her apart from the others
Kind regards
