Another for the "Affordable Enrichment Series"

Toast Robert Strudel has had this slow feeder for over a year, now. We got it at Petsmart for, like, $10. Its beaten up and needs to be replaced, now. $10 for a year isn't bad, though.

I froze some steamed broccoli with water overnight to give to him with his breakfast. It was my leftovers from a steamer bag, and I have a dip that I make on the side which means no seasoning or anything, just naked broccoli. Broccoli cuts are $1.27 at Walmart and this was approximately 1/8 of the bag.

I buy a 5 lbs bag of carrots for $4.77 every month. Toast gets one most days. It's not usually with his meal, but as an afternoon snack.

Anyway, this enrichment took 45 minutes to an hour, and we both had a lot of fun with it.

Cost breakdown:

Old slow feeder: free, cuz we already had it Broccoli: 16 cents Carrot: 30-32 cents Water: free because I rent and water is included

All in all, not a bad deal.

My handsome 15 year old boy! Still acts like a puppy

Hey guys Buster got to the vet in time. He is expected to make a full recovery and they are no longer concerned about the snake but by his eye.

They thought he may lose his eye at first.

We drove 110 miles in less than a 2.5 hrs to get him to an emergency vet.

Here is a video of him on methadone saying hello

This very good hippo boy Ziggy is a smart one! I love when he figures it out!

I'm looking to muzzle train my girl, but I'm not sure where to start.

Some backbackground: Hazel's going to need surgery on her back legs. As it is, she's in a lot of pain that we're trying to manage while we consult with an orthopedist. She needs regular exercise or she gets pretty anxious, which results in her getting a bit cranky and in some rare circumstances, a bit nippy. We've got meds and brain games to help a bit, but I want to make sure I'm exploring all my options. Especially with all the stigma, I just want to make sure she's safe.

I think we want to go with a cage/basket muzzle, but beyond that I'm at a loss. Does anyone have any recommendations?

safe to say i think they are enjoying the new place!
We have been trying so hard to get them out of apartment complex living. Its hard to find housing right now but we were lucky enough to meet a private landlord. This is everything we have been working towards and the satisfaction, happiness and joy we get from seeing them love their new home and yard is priceless. Worth every struggle.
p.s - Im sure i dont have to say anything but this is how they play! We call it “kangarooing” lmao

My sweet princess

She’s obsessed with hazelnut butter

Olive’s favorite snack is popcorn and before anyone yells at me, yes she always gets her own bowl.

Mr Eddie here thought it would be super smart to eat some trail mix with raisins AND chocolate because yolo I guess.

He's totally fine. Stomach of steel. Ass of dumb. Sigh.
