Meet the 5 Non-Furry Kids

OK, so now you've met our 3 furry kids. Now we'd like to introduce our 5, yes 5 non-furry kids. They are all teens or tweens and we make them live outside. Their names are Clover, the oldest at 13yrs.; Rover who is 12 yrs old, Charlie Bubble and Mudhead who are 11 years old and the most recent addition, Diablo, who's age we aren't sure of, but he is larger than the others.

Clover came to us in 1996 when she was a tiny one year old, followed by Rover the next year and Charlie Bubble and Mudhead the following year. Diablo came to us this past spring. He was brought to us by the guy who did some cement work for us. We named him Diablo because of his bright red eyes.

Each one has his or her own distinct personality, but they all love to eat worms, mealy worms, or what ever little bugs that happen to be crawling by them at the moment. They also love a mixture of carrots, bananas and other fruits. They enjoy basking in the morning sun and taking dips in their "mini pool," but hide once the high noon sun arrives. Then we see them come out in the late afternoon and by 5:00, they're clamoring to get fed.
We really enjoy them.

So there you have it, you've now met all of the kids. Well for now...we've caught Rover and Clover doing the wild thing...so who knows what the future will bring.
