Day 49 - Uh, helloooooo it’s getting a little dirty in here.

Life outside has been interesting lately, the two humans have been in my room a lot the last few days. They’ve been watching a bunch of TV, and the female has been on the couch way more than usual. I hope everything is okay.  A couple of days ago I went quite a while without any food, and when the large one (male), fed me, I literally attacked my food.

Mmm. I love those Hikari Bio-Gold pellets! It’s the crunchiness that makes them so good. Don’t get me wrong, I like bloodworms too and have fun “hunting” those when I’m treated to them, but on a daily basis I look forward to my Hikari pellets.

In other news, I made the biggest bubblenest yet. A new personal record is always a good thing. I also heard a rumor that I might get a large tank down the road, I’m not holding my breath. Hahahaha.

It’s been a while since my last entry, but I’ve been very busy lately. After my tank was freshened, I again tried to dig my way out, but to no avail. I did it more out of boredom than anything else. The food has remained high quality, and I’ve decided to try to nip the fingers of the humans that continue to feed me. The female gets nervous when I do it, hehehehe and she tends to just throw in the food. The male, however, doesn’t seem affected by my aggressiveness. In fact, he seems to like teasing me by poking his finger in the tank if I try to nip.

Needless to say I don’t bother jumping at him much. Other than that, life in the tank is great. I do my laps, munch on food and sleep in the tree. All with a grand view too of the hustle and bustle of a home.

Day 28 - I haven’t written in the journal in a while, mainly because it’s been busy around here. I had to completely recreate my bubble nest, thanks to a freshening of my water supply. I’m thankful though. The water wasn’t murky or anything (I have friends stuck in dirty old vases) but let’s just say I have to poop where I eat, and after a while that’s just not cool.  Fresh water makes me happy, even if it’s a little stressful getting in and out of the tank.

Speaking of that, those humans aren’t too bright. I realize I have a natural tendency to squirm, but I’m really not that hard to hold on to. How I ended up on a counter for a minute, I’ll never quite understand.

At least I got blood worms after that!
