Insomnia Thread...

The Petsmart around here sells some pretty black and green aquatic frogs sometimes. The St. Joseph's lily is red with a white stripes down the middle of each petal. The petals are more narrow than the other amaryllis. There is a yard near me that has a whole flowerbed of St. Joseph's lily and its breath taking every time I see it. One day I want to get some courage and ask the people for a bulb. I saw some online and they are $20 a bulb, because its an heirloom amaryllis

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Sounds beautiful, Cam. You should ask for a bulb. The worst thing they'll say is no.


I think I've seen other little frogs at PetSmart too, but not these ones. They're so tiny. I guess you can't handle them because they'll die. I'm gonna look at other aquariums tomorrow and a hidey house.


: )

[Willow87]

You're right. I just have to remember which house had them lol. I had my frog in a 10 gallon tank and I rarely saw him lol.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I think the little aquariums they send them home in are pathetically small. I feel guilty, like it's cruel to keep them in such a small area to live out their days. Not my frogs!


I doubt it will be 10 gallons Cam, but I'll get them something a lot bigger than what they've got now.


Also too, they said I only feed them 2 pellets each, 2 days a week! I feel like I'm starving the poor little guys! How can they survive on just 2 tiny little pellets on Saturdays and Tuesdays?! It doesn't seem like enough but they told me over-feeding can kill them!


What did you feed your, Cam?


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Morning Gang!

Everything is relative Sherry. You have to imagine how tiny their little stomach's are. Did you ever dissect those large frogs in Biology class? Remember how small the stomachs were in those big ones? A lot of animals only eat every few days too. You don't want to feed them so much they explode from the inside! Aren't they like the size of your thumbnail? An ant would be a holiday feast for them.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Wow, I guess I didn't realize, and thought they might be hungry.


Also too though...how do I make sure they each get two pellets? I've had pets in the past that were greedy and tried to steal the other guy's food!


Ok then, so two pellets a week it is. They're due for some tomorrow.



Signed,


A worried frog mother!

You're too cute!!!

Loading my usual Monday morning shots for posting. What are you up to?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I'm going out soon to do some grocery shopping and pick up a larger aquarium and some of those living stones for the bottom of it. Not sure when I'm leaving but likely soon. Depends on when my mom is ready.


I might get some purple stones for them and definitely some more rocks to hide behide.


What are your plans today? I shouldn't be out too late. Back by dinner likely. Did you check out the Xmas thread Janan. I showed my many pins and I wanted you to see the nightlights too...


: )

[Willow87]

I think my frog ate fish food and some freeze dried tubifex worms. Jordan I got your beautiful card and the cute origami. Thank you so much!I've always wanted to learn origami

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hi guys!


I was at PetSmart today and I got a bigger aquarium for my little froggies. It's a 2 and 1/2 gallon one with a lid. They sell the little frogs there too I guess but not in the kits like Green Earth does.


I found out some better information from PetSmart though than I got from Green Earth. Apparently I can feed them daily but just a little bit. I got them some dried bloodworms too!


I'll show the stuff soon...


Did you see my new bowl?





I showed it in the ALL PURPOSE thread too but didn't know if you guys would see. The hands go around the entire bowl...





They engraved the inside of it with "A very HANDY bowl indeed"...





Cool, eh? I thought it was very unusual and I couldn't leave the store without it. What do you think I could use it for, other than a fruit bowl?


So who's around tonight? Just loading some shots...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Very interesting! It reminds me of the hands in the cave hole thing from Labyrinth. Is anyone old enough to have seen that movie with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

It reminds me of unity and brotherhood...helping hands. Foreign concepts to most on this site.


I really love the bowl. What do you think I could use it for?


"Very Interesting"!!! Sounds like a nice way my mom would put it to hide the fact that she HATED it!


Trying to load a shot or two...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Yeah, they were helping hands in the movie! They kept Sarah from falling down the hole or they slowed and stopped her fall. If you haven't seen the movie though I am sure that makes no sense!

I don't hate it.......are the hands life size? I am undecided. If they are life size I think it might give me shivers. I think I have had too many nightmares where hands are trying to grab me.

[Willow87]

I remember that movie Janan lol. Sherry that is a neat bowl. I bet your frogs will be happy to have a bigger tank

[Jananas Bananas]

Did you like that movie Cam? I loved it. And Dark Crystal. There was a third and can't remember what it was. But I used to watch them over and over again. I have copies of them right now. I should watch some tomorrow.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Ok check out the new frog stuff I got in the pet thread...


You gotta love the pink and purple castle!





Yes, the hands are life-size and the bowl is really super large. There's something about it though that I find appealing. Some of the hands are small however like a child's hands. It's a pretty unusual and different kind of thing to have so I couldn't resist.


You guys have no ideas on what to use it for, huh? Ok then, I guess a fruit bowl.


I haven't seen that movie Janan but it sounds cool.


Sucks about the dreams though. I have nightmares often too where someone is chasing me and trying to get me.


Ever had a recurring dream...the same dream over and over again?


So what are you guys up to tonight?


I thought my frogs were listless because they were all motionless on the bottom of the container today, but tonight they're swimming and jumping around everywhere. I guess they're nocturnal.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

I can't think of anything unless you could make it a pool or a fountain since it is so big. You could fill it with water and a tad bit of blue coloring would look real pretty. Change the food coloring to fit the holidays or your mood. Fill it with beautiful Christmas balls for a centerpiece. Fruit would go bad before you could eat it if you fill it up!

They are kid movies Sherry! Very enjoyable at least I think. I love kid movies though and pretty much all Disney and such. Fantasy movies are my very favorite.

Very cute hidey castle!

[Jananas Bananas]

Oh yes I have had recurring dreams. They are very unnerving. Usually (I have been told) that if you can unlock the reason for the dreams they stop.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

My mom thought I got the bowl for my frogs to live in!


I enjoy children's movies too Janan...but I especially love cartoons. Bugs Bunny and Friends are my favorite and I even have them on my iPad!


Yes, I thought the hidey castle was too adorable, Janan. I just hope the little froggies like it. Do they need an area where they can come up out of the water? I gotta do some more research I guess.


I only meant that if I used the bowl for fruit, it would be just to sit my bananas, oranges, or apples in, but not to necessarily fill it up.


I was thinking it would make a nice bird bath someday, but I already have one. Then I thought I could set a vine type plant in it, to allow it to drape itself all over the hands. I suppose there are a lot of things I could use it for. I could even paint it!


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

The Dark Crystal I think is a Jim Henson movie. It was all puppets. Labyrinth had real people and puppets. David Bowie is really neat in it. If you enjoy children's movies you would probably like them both.

It would make a great bird bath sitting on one of those large pedestals.

I like the drapey vine type plants idea, that would be really nice. I kinda like the rawness of it without paint, but it would probably look nice painted also.
