I thought you'd not been on here or the hoggy for a few days- thought you'd abandoned us Jain

Hope your little girl gets sorted soon. NHS eh?

Matty- that's not a mighty alberto in Lizard form. Far too skinny to be mighty.

Hope your daughter recovers soon Jain, and nice to see other people looking at uro's, they still arnt all that common. The best thing is that they dont eat live food, so alot cheaper than beardies to feed. (and Tizzy suggested them to me, blame her )

What do they eat matty? are they veggie or something? They do look nice do they grow big... You've got to get at least one phib so we can change your frog spawn title to "dude of dampness"... that's a promise

They eat mainly green veg. The subspecies im looking at grows to about 14" but not all display such great colours as the one in the link. Im still not sure of the phib idea. I would be happy to keep some small tree frogs, but many grow quite big.

Here's The Mighty Alberto from last night - He started wiggling his toes to attract food. Kaz took a video so I'll get her to post it when she gets chance - He's growing sooo fast!

Had a surprise this morning. Was looking at this thread with Herbie, my 2 year old son, looking at the pics when he saw the pic of T.M.A. with the white background. I asked him what it was, expecting him to say "froggy" or something similar. He piped up, clear as day, "Mighty Alberto" .

Wow... love the wiggle... lol at how he appeared to have hiccups after! I know it was just swallowing, but it amused me

Daughter is not at all little... she's almost 22 y/o (bless her not so little socks)!! I nearly got to 30 before I had her (life just bloody caught up with me a bit quicker than I'd planned)

She finally had her op yesterday, after 5 days of having it cancelled to let emergencies and children go first... What it is to be an adult eh! They put a plate in to stabilise her fibula.... hopefully all forward from now on... coming home tomorrow, so will be able to spend more time back with yous lot

Thanks for your good wishes, and spk more soon.... J

If I had a brain, I'd be dangerous......

Bet she'll always be your little girl though. I'm 38 and my mum still talks to me like I'm still 5 sometimes .

Is she gonna ask for the meccano when they remove it? My 17 yr old has still got his in a tube somewhere from when he had his arm put back together.
