Finally got my vampire crabs!

Been a dream animal of mine for a few years, so happy to have them!

UPDATE: I will be separating the different species! I was sold them all together from someone who seemingly knew what they were doing and had had them all living together but had to take their tank down. I will do better than their previous owner and set them up for success! Thank you all for your input.

The broodies vs the boss

Sage and Bay are broody and don’t want to move for Paprika so she can lay her daily egg, but she’s perfectly fine just sitting on them instead. Bonus for the broods since they then get to race for the egg after until I come collect it 😂

Spray sunscreen recommendations

Hello! I’m looking for spray sunscreen recommendations, hoping to find one that has the least oily residue, it does not need to be water resistant. Any brand that has something like that? Thank you!

Good job Paprika!

I always joked she had the position of rooster in our flock, yesterday the hot headed broody frizzles got into a mini fight and she ran over to gentle break them up, so funny!

Assorted prep from the last week

Some of the stuff I’ve already chipped away at or just didn’t want to pull the extras out of the freezer. Here’s what I’ve made this week! Pesto zoodle lasagna, flourless German pancakes with a lime glaze, hard boiled eggs, single serve cheesecake, blueberry protein muffins, and almond flour pancakes. Was gonna make Larb tonight but will make that tomorrow, been trying to come up with cold meals since it’s gonna be hot this week and next.

Update on my rain barrel system!

Added a top tray, got the plants I , and put in some fishies! They were all still hiding but they’ll get brave, goldfish in the upper pot and minnows in the middle pot. Can’t wait to get seeds into the rockwool and see how everything does!

First try at aquaponics!

I’ve got 24 fish tanks totaling about 215 gallons and always wanted a hydroponic system that’ll use the waste water when I clean the aquariums, so finally set this up! I’m able to pump the dirty tank water thru the window into the rain barrel and then can fill up a watering can or water the blackberries if the barrel is getting too full. Just need to actually set up the hydroponic plants for the 3 pots now, got clay balls and rock wool coming Tuesday! I was able to upcycle and use what I already had around so only spent about $20 on the new fittings. I want to build an actual aquaponic pond by the end of the summer so this will be great practice for me to play around with.
