Another early welcome to the area. Tulsa is a great place to homeschool, and live in general.

Large families on a budget-eating healthy?

Lol...we saw a wholesale truck driving through town after delivering to a resteraunt and followed them back to the warehouse! -
Large families on a budget-eating healthy?
wendybird replied to Quiver0f10's topic in The Chat Board
We found a whoelsale supplier of fruits and veggies. Each week we call up and place an order for a case of apples, case of oranges, case of bananas, tomatoes,potatoes,etc. We go pick up at their warehouse, and pay cash. The savings are wonderful! This is the place that supplies fruit and veggies to area resteraunts and small grocery stores.The owner said we are the only family that comes in to do this, I assume because most families wouldn't eat as much produce as we do. ;) We spend right around $100 per week on fruit and veggies, then spend about $100 at Sam's to finish off the groceries.Stir fried rice and veggies with egg(we have chickens) is a staple. Between meals the kids are free to eat as many fruit pieces as they want, as long as they finish it. Bagged shredded cheese is probably the most processed thing we eat. -
Please settle our debate- Is Nutella healthy?
wendybird replied to FlyingMOm's topic in The Chat Board
I would consider a banana wrapped in a wheat wrap with a stripe of nutella to be a healthy part of breakfast. I have no problem with sugar though. -
We would like to participate again this year.

Any Ball Python owners out there?
wendybird replied to Ewe Mama's topic in General Education Discussion Board
After you have had him for awhile you will be able to see his hungry style(our guy goes up on his branch and stares at the rat cage lol!)but I would keep trying every week. The general rule of thumb is the food should not be bigger than the snakes biggest section. Last week I didn't have a medium rat for Copper so I gave him two smalls...I know our zoo feeds multiple smaller feeders as well. Going down a size won't hurt, but they definitely won't eat anything they think is too big. -
Any Ball Python owners out there?
wendybird replied to Ewe Mama's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Pythons can definintely be finicky eaters! I agree about the warmth. Also make sure their is some humidity in the enclosure. Our ball python eats live. Do you have somewhere your guy can eat from? What I mean is they are ambush predators and like to strike out from a hidey hole. We have a boa as well and she is the easiest thing in the world to feed, but Copper, our python, went an entire 9 months without eating a couple years ago. I was trying every single trick I could. I know now that he wants a dark place to eat from, he will only strike from his boot(we cut the foot off a rubber boot and he loves it!), and he obviously doesn't eat when he is shedding, but also not for 3 days afterwards. I hope your snake eats soon for you. Just keep offering! -
We built a triple bunk in one of our bedrooms and are getting ready to build a second one in the next room. I liked the Ikea bunk that has the bottom bunk nearly floor level so we did that( it is high enough to slide the vacuum hose under and get the dust bunnies), and the top bunk is not really much higher than a regular bunk.

Autumn is having her baby!!!
wendybird replied to Blueridge's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Lol...hormonal me is actually shedding tears over this sweet baby! Autumn is doing great now. :D I wonder if in the wild the mom would be staying away is also because the afterbirth might bring other animals in?
