Eating

debs1018 Dec 08, 2004 04:19 PM

I am not complaining but I just want to know if anyone's uro has gotten a BIG appitite over the past couple of days? The reason is Buddy has eaten ALL of his food and I even gave him a double portion today and it's gone. I don't want him to blow up Ha! Ha!
Thanks
debs

I guess because this is very unusual for him. Like I said before I'm not complaining besides he has a lot to catch up in the weight department.

Speaking of moons tonights moon is the Waning Crescent

I believe that every time the moon's in the Waning Crescent phase that strange things happen. It always has for me, every time it's never let me down.

So maybe that is why your reptilian friends are eating like fiends tonight.

I believe that when the moon completes its transition to a full moon every one's uro's will be eating the same amount. But that's just what I believe.

And it's good that they're eating a lot too, especially buddy since he needs it to keep recovering from that terrible owner he had before the terrific one he has now.

Triad, thank you for the complement I am trying my best with Buddy. He has a VERY thick and fat tummy and I'm hoping that it will move down to the tail for storage. He is one happy uro.
