He. Would take all the shiny things and drag them under the shelf and somehow could climbi anywhere he pleases
He sadly passed a few months ago… so. We thought we ferret proofed everything so I let him run around the house for 20 minutes I went to check on him and he got stuck head first in a yoga mat… and died in 20 min
Love that face! I had two as a kid ( not at the same time) and my kids had two and then a sugar glider and finally this chubby fellow.

How is it having one? I’ve considered one before what are the care requirements?

Very docile, doesn’t have an aggressive bone in it’s body I suppose they don’t have to due to it’s glands that spray. They are omnivores and are easy to litter box train. They are nocturnal so it takes a little while to get them on our schedule.
 
That’s awesome how much did he set you back?
Remember that was awhile back but I got it from a breeder for, if I remember right, about $600.

I have been in the woods here locally untold amounts of time hunting and other things, I have seen every living animal that lives around here , EXCEPT a skunk. They are here because the only time I see them is when they are road kill.

How many Sasquatches would you say you've seen?

Just for the record, it's illegal in Skamania County, Washington to hunt or kill a Sasquatch...
 
Any Scotch drinkers here ? I was gifted some Johnny Walker today for helping out free of charge. I drink scotch when I like some to do some sipping or make an old fashioned. They must have asked my wife about it.

Good evening folks, we just got back from the beach a couple hours ago. I took a quick glance at my tank. All the corals look pretty good. I don't think I see any fish missing so I think everything went well. Did anything important happen while I was away for the past few days that I should know about?

If I had seen a sasquatch you would have seen me on the news for killing some dude in a costume

I will have to add, some of the local bars out here (you know I live in out in the sticks) have a few patrons that you could call them sasquatch with no insult taken

I’m glad you had a great time and your tank was the same as when you left! Well let’s see, Keith was asked to join the Reef Squad and since he acts all high and mighty and thinks he is so much better than everyone on here. Jill’s CBB finally ate, frozen even. Jimmy went on vacation to fish, didn’t get out much due to weather but his wife caught a big king mackerel. Joel has pretty much eradicated all the aptasia in his tank old school style. Luis lost his weeping willow but the good news his pregnancy test was positive. The smorg concluded that I’m old. Lots of music and food pictures. Forgive me if I forgot something, I’m old.
 
tried chicken tacos for a first tonight after I saw some ground chicken in the store. not a fan. bought the chicken seasoning. just way too bland. needs A LOT of Tabasco.
Makes me want to make fish tacos on a fish forum, LOL. Just might happen tomorrow

I seen one last year for the first time lucky for me it was on the ground and I was in a tree stand. It was neat to see but I was still very quite until it was gone as I didn't want to startle it and have to smell it the test of the evening.

I have some video from my tripod stand of a few critters passing by my way. I will see if I can dig them up
