>Oh if only all Springs, Summers and the beginning of Fall could be like I have had this year! It has been the very best! Last Winter was great also! Rain and I are heading for Fla. in Nov. for a Family get together. So she will be back home for a little while! Then we are heading to S.C. and the Mountains for a few days!! I can't wait!! I have a problem with Moths; the little ones are fine but I still have to turn away. There is no way I am ever giving her a big fat one! And I still have a problem w/the mealies, although I do throw them in and cover her cage!! I am a big sissy on this "live kill" thing; I prefer the chicken bone w/grissle or the old rib bone. I need to catch up on who has what and how many Flyers; I only have Rain, as you know! I talk about nothing else and she is still referred to, by everybody in my Family as "The Baby"!! [well she is the smallest] Take Care Greetings, Linda and Amanda, and Connie, good luck

>>The only reason I gave that bit of mushroom to Rain
>>was because I saw another squirrel eating it! I do
>>buy them now; I watch the squirrels, all the time, and
>>use them as a direction for Rains wild food source!
>> She LOVES Passion Flowers!! After they bloom I give
>>her the bud, and she eats them right up and the leafs.
>> I try to keep the plant all Summer outside, and then
>>bring it in for the Winter. It worked last Winter,
>>hopefully I will be able to keep the plant this
>>Winter! My Mother had Passion Flower plants all
>>about her house in FL., so that was what gave me the
>>idea to give them to Rain!! They are very hard to
>>keep inside but I managed it somehow!! Wish me luck
>>on keeping this plant alive, two Summers AND two
>>Winters!!! Rain has had plenty of room to "fly"
>>but has never taken the plunge!! She will climb up
>>her curtains and then jump on me! She will sit in my
>>hand forever, climb about on me, then take small jumps
>>about; but never really "fly". Oh Well, I have a
>>non-flying Flying Squirrel!! I am getting along
>>with this computer, so far. Take Care to All ,>Have
>>you tried an occasional fresh Shiitake mushroom?
>>>Amanda really likes them as a change.
>>>She gets a fresh mushroom, usually a baby portabello
>>>or a white button, almost every night for the vit.
