I still don’t know if it’s a he tbh. But he’s cool. I am so addicted to hanging with this fella. He comes to me now.

the one we rescued the previous owners thought was a he and the vet confirmed that wasn't true

when they're young you can't really tell anyway

I was told at about 3 mths you could hold him up the light and see either 1 for a girl or 2 for the boys but I think he’s a bit young still to do that.

Question though? I was told they should eat 70% vege and 30% bugs but it’s definitely the other way around. Can the dude get fat like humans bc his belly is always fat bc he’s a pig

yeah you gotta be careful on their weight and yeah mostly plant diet

i think we feed crickets to ours once or maybe twice a week
the rest of the time its mostly greens

they will absolutely love the insects if you give them to them

If he looked at me like that I wouldn’t wait for him to destroy the treat cupboard. I’d just open the door and let him go mad

The explosive diarrhoea that would ensue has me erring on the side of caution.

I used to have a rescue Bengal cat. His name before we got him at 7 months was Ben, but I changed it to Fang. He was awesome. Heaps of personality. One day he ate half a wok full of beef rendang. I let my partner deal with litter box duties for the next few days

I mean, can you blame him?

Rendang is incredible.

I love cats but can’t deal with the smell of cat litter, cat shit, cat vomit or cat food hence why we don’t have any cats lol

These things are challenging. The cat food problem smell problem can be alleviated with an expensive, grain free biscuit diet along with wet food that you make to a vet approved recipe - though making it and freezing it in portions is pretty gross. But that in turn improves the breath issue if they yawn in your face.

Likewise the litter issue is improved by diet to some extent, but yes there is a reason why people say something smells like cats piss.

Cat vomit is a problem but can be dealt with by feigning a slipped disc and letting someone else deal with it.

Yes she is a ridgeback but don’t tell her, she thinks she is human and knows far more than all of us. Her name is Cookie and she now runs the household. She loves going fishing and lets me go whenever she wants.

I’ve got a ridgy x kelpie. My Harli girl is the best ball dog we have ever had and she loves a cuddle.

And Cookie is such a sweet name


Welcome to the family

My neighbour has a new puppy and each morning he sits at the fence and waits for me to come over and say hello!

He truly is the sweetest smartest doggo around and his name is so fitting bc it’s Frank. Just love the little dude!

Hey Gralin

Help! What’s wrong with Penny? She’s not going through brumation bc it’s it’s not winter but she’s been hiding for 2 days now. She does come out to eat her greens and chase crickets and stuff but she keeps going back to her hide.

Im peaking! She’s been good as gold other than that.

Advice please?
