Stressed and cant focus

[pigglett79]

So I have a ton going on with work and school and just cant focus. Between my panther George and his mysterious edema and my rescued bearded dragon with an eye infection and pinworms......I am just a bit stressed and worried.

And to top if off my fruit fly cultures are dry as they aren't reproducing fast enough to keep up with my mantis army's appetite so now my army is eating each other and their numbers are dwindling. I threw a bunch of hornworm eggs in there and they already devoured those baby worms as well.

Now don't get stressed. Just toss some of the mantis, keep what you can feed, and put each in a container, that way at lease part of them will survive. I know where you can get more for a good price.

The animals are another matter. That would be stressing me to no end also. Will it help if I come visit George? You know I love that little man. Edema isn't usually life threatening, but I understand the worry. Hang in there, we can get past this too.

Thanks Laurie. You know you always said Rex was your favorite, and that boy doesn't give me any trouble. He is a cool mellow dude. Except when I try to bring him in from outside and he jumps off my hand, then he upsets me. Haha.

You know it's bad when one of your stressors (in addition to more mainstream things like bills, work, relationships, terrorism, taxes, school) is worrying about a fruit fly colony!

Ha, no kidding. I had to go to petsmart today and buy more fruit flies. I now have 4 of those tiny hydei ones from petsmart, 3 of the D. mel cultures from petco, and 2 large golden hydei cups from smallpetfeeders.

These things need to start cycling I have an army to feed.
