minor housing change
There must be no men from the ages of 50-35 reading this journal- if there are, they haven't listened to a rock radio station in years... like maybe since MOVING PICTURES were invented!
A quick note that I took Mongo and her den out of the critter keeper. I happened upon an super tiny baby octo on Tues. at my favorite LFS
. (S)He's so small that I had to put it in the critter keeper in the 55 gal., otherwise I'd loose track of it altogether. Think it may be a baby macro, but so young it's too hard to tell. More after I've lived with it a bit and get a photo.
So now Mongo and her den are no longer enclosed, I'm not sure how I want to proceed. I've read D and Greg's journals, you two rock for keeping such great info!
I can leave her the way she is, or get another large keeper and cut windows in the sides then cover the sides and top with fine mesh. The thinking here being the babies will be easier to keep corraled until I take them out, and I can leave a few in with mom. I've purchased one breeder net for the babies, for $5 each it seemed so much easier than making my own stuff this time. I'm not sure how much I want to invest in little boxes when I'll be needing to spend the $$ on FOOD...
BTW, Day 30 of Mongo's brooding will be 3-23, when should I order food? I'm thinking whatever I order will work for new mystery baby, too, it's SO tiny!
