Bell pepper and peas

As life in our household does go on after the loss of pet we focus on the other animals in our home.

Skitz's diet has increased and has now tried many shades of greens, veggies and fruit.

He LOVES strawberry and orange

He LOVES Greens (everything we've tried)

HE HATES BELL PEPPERS AND PEAS

So that means, his veggie diet isn't so hot....yet

Are you asking how we know he despise of those two veggies?

When we feed him it's at 8pm and in a glass bowl

He'll finish everything except the bell pepper - red, green no matter it's left in the plate

Today we tried peas and it's a NO....left at the bottom of the bowl, not touched

Can you say picky?

Dealing

Dealing with Chance's death is harder then I thought.

I knew it was coming

yet every time I pass his cage I want to reach out and put my hand on his nose

or

as I compute, put my hand on the bottom glass wall

where he would walk over and start his head bobbing

saying

Hi mom!

Who knew a Iguana could be such a cool pet!

We buried him in his home made casket and

a headstone so the dog won't dig him up.

My husband made both of them

and did a great job!

I know he's running around and swimming

in God's jungle now

and the thought of that makes me smile!

Chance

I'm sad to report that my Ig of 5 years was taken from us. Chance passed away moments ago on the floor of his cage.

He's health took a turn for the worse about two weeks ago and having experienced this once before with Valentine we knew what was to come.

I made him as comfortable as possible and fed him his favorite foods strawberry and banana!

He will be missed especially since he lived in our bedroom and was my little pain in the butt buddy!

Bye Chancey! April 16, 2009 7:45pm

He's HUGE!

Looking back at the pictures from February, I'm amazed how huge Skitzo has become.
