Haven’t had a pod update in a bit. Just checked in on everyone and here’s what’s up:
Woodlice are mad overdue for an upgrade/update. I know there’s a way to sift babies out from frass and regular dirt but I do not know what it is. They’ve always approached life slowly as long as I’ve known them, and that includes reproduction but I do have some tiiiny babies presently, hence the dirt dilemma.
Powders and the woodlice that live with them are THRIVING. They’re always out roaming around, sniffin stuff, got places to BE.
Dairy Cow numbers seem down? Haven’t had any major die-offs, just bigger adults here and there. But all they do is fuck and eat and there’s about a million babies in there so for now I’ll say they’re likely fine.
Giant Canyons are MANY. They all hide during the day so their tub looks empty, but at night it’s like a rave in there. They still beg at the corner for snacks when I sit down to say hi.
Tonight I saw Snede Snonnet (the snail) and Gary (the slug) BOTH out exploring in their little jar. I fed Snede a shrimp pellet by hand and once he figured out it was edible he went to town. I couldn’t reach Gary to offer him one as well, so I dropped a second bearish to him and hoped for the best.
My friend gave me two dubia roaches a while back, who remain yet unnamed, and I was worried they were dead because they’re so very skittish. Contrary to this, they’ve grown! They’re the length of a penny now. Even at night they prefer to stay hidden, but I DID catch one eating a fish flake. They really don’t seem so different from pods- in fact, I’d house them with the powders or something if I didn’t worry they’d be nibbled on for the crimes of existing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I still have two small millipedes left alive from my larp trip in January. They have grown juuust a little.
And I think that’s it. Everything’s chill rn- going to repticon in Raleigh the weekend of the 26th to try and find a couple more snails and I’m hoping some zebra pods or scabers. A small millipede or two is on the table also.
