Hibiscus for flowers for my veiled 🤣

[elizaann2]

For those of you who may not know or remember. Several months ago I re-did Kitty Kat’s (female veiled) enclosure. I wanted to add some flowers for her to enjoy and unfortunalty found out that the flowering plants I added where not known to be safe. I immediately removed them of course, and replaced them with what was recommended, a hibiscus plant. I probably took an hour at Home Depot deciding on the color of flower I wanted for the hibiscus, searched for the healthiest one…anything for my girl. Wanna see it now a few months later??

Well….here it is…. Isn’t it lovely?

Oh she did...bless her leaf-eating heart. I need to buy her a new one...

I think you need a monthly subscription

I think Kitty Kat agrees!

Looks like it. Just for fun I should keep track on how much I spend on plants for her. All her pothos are basically gone too, I'm going to have to replace most of those as well.

That is just too cute! Ok, gotta ask - do you have a mental picture of her just sitting there, ho hum, chowing down on the leaves? Is it just me?
I can’t be 100%, but I think if you start with a taller and bushier hibiscus, it will fare better.

Oh I have caught her just sitting there chowing down on it. I've had her enclosure covered for several days now because i am waiting to see if she will lay eggs and want to give her privacy, I looked the other day to check on her plants and water what was needed and noticed the hibiscus...dead....

I am going to try a bigger one next time. I bet it will be eaten to the stems as well but its worth a shot, and if she loves them that much then...I guess thats just how its going to be
