My mum used to have a cat that was called "Cat" (Poes).
Azra

We have a dog called Holly (after Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffanys)
2 gerbils - Polo and Simon
and
4 chickens - Tikka, Bolly, Peebee and Steve

We're also looking after the mother-in-law's Jack Russell, Norris for a couple of weeks

Holly is a good dog's name, I like that.
Simon the gerbil... I have mental images of Penfold from Dangermouse...
Steve the chicken, yep that's fine! Tikka is a bit Hamley the pig though

They're getting bigger!

Any cocooning yet?

Not yet, they're still relatively small & have a lot of growing to do before they get to that stage. They've got quite an appetite now though, they eat all of what I put in there in about 18hrs. I'm trying to land a greenhouse heater or an offcut of trace-heating cable, so I can get them in a bigger cage on a growing plant

How are they doing?

Warning with jack russell.
I have one pirat jack very loving but with a very HARD character and very very very speed. Never tired. I have a mixed bull terrier labrador to. She is my darling.

Not well I'm afraid, they all died when the weather changed. I've been trying to find out why - can't be change in temperature/humidity as they were living in a controlled environment. Only idea I've come up with so far is the weather affected their food - they stopped eating just before the privet leaves changed colour & started falling off the plants when it suddenly got colder/wetter.

I've got more on pre-order for spring, idea being I could rule out the food question if the plants are healthy

this is what they were like just before they all keeled over
