 They like Chinese broccoli

Wow ... these are certainly Hawaiian gliders! Last week I tried giving them some steamed Chinese broccoli and they devoured it. My other two typically turned up their noses at it (What's with the leafy green stuff! He KNOWS we don't like any of that junk!).

I gave them some of the new batch of blend I made for Anson and Judah and they seemed to like it but not as much as they like their suggie soup so I picked up some pulped mango and Hawaiian papaya from a nearby Oriental grocery. Only thing I don't have is the Trader Joe's Vanilla Soy but looking at the diet calculator here, it seems like 2 TBSPs of Wombaroo is fairly close to 1 tsp of Trader Joe's so I may try making some of that. I'm sure my guys would like a change of pace from time to time too. I know my blend and the LGRS suggie soup have similar Ca:P ratios but need to check the other nutrients.

Just had tent time with Anson and Judah, need to clean it out and sanitize it before using it with Laki and Lele; I can't wait until quarantine is over!

 Hawaiian Rescues

First of all, many thanks to everyone who helped rescue these guys from certain death in Hawai`i. Laki and Lele made it to their Colorado forever home Sunday afternoon. The whole drive from Van Alstyne, I only heard them crab twice: the first time was when I accidentally jostled the popup kennel they were in (loud and long crabbing) and the second time was when I opened the pouch to see how they were doing (short crab almost as if they were saying, "close it, I'm cold!"). The rest of the time they were chirping and clicking happily.

They enjoyed the Custom Cruiser on the ride back to Colorado. I can't get it in the temporary cage but they're having fun on the Wodent Wheel every night. They can't seem to decide whether they like the UFO or the cage pouch more, they seem to swap places constantly.

The boys are in quarantine near the master bedroom right now. They weren't too happy about being taken out of the cage yesterday night although I think Laki forgave me when he realized it was to get a few mealworms. Lele passed on the mealworms so he could burrow further in the pouch. I'll give them a little more time to get adjusted before they get tent time.

Not sure if Ed gave them blueberries during their stay at LGRS but Laki acted like it was a new wonderful treat when he discovered them in the food bowl. They are happily cleaning their bowls of the suggie soup; I just got some Wombaroo in so we'll try them with Anson and Judah's blend after they finish the soup Ed gave me before I left.

I can't wait to get introductions going -- it's going to be a long month!
