You're going to have to at least upgrade to Stouffers. Those banquet things aren't even food!

My significant other won't even make himself a salad. He considers heating up a microwave pizza "cooking." Yet he spends 45 minutes cutting up vegetables and organizing them into a presentation worthy of a five star restaurant.

The best part is when he puts it in front of the furiously wheeking pigs proudly, and the first thing the fiesty Zesty does is jump into the bowl and peel out, sending veggies everywhere.

After wiping the store completely out of every veggie they have...we can't even afford Banquet-type meals!Plus, after the requisite 45-minute preparation time for the piggy meals, the affordable peanut butter & jelly sandwich is even a chore to prepare and eat!

LOL! That is hilarious! Ours look through the big pile of veggies looking for their favorites. If it happens to not be on the menu for that meal...I get the, "Mommy, where's-that-one-stuff-I-absolutely-love-and-would-be-the-happiest-guinea-pig-on-earth-if-I-had-it-right-now-instead-of-having-to-endure-the-torture-of-eating-this-big-pile-of-other-food" look!

Yep...consider yourself a slave (or...as I call myself - a sucker for a cute face!).

I am currently redoing one of the bedrooms so the rats and piggy can have a room to themselves (in separate cages of course and not out at same time).

The kids on the other hand are sharing a room. Before anyone yells, the kids voted on this idea because the one bedroom is large enough to play in, while the other is barely big enough for a bed and dresser.'

My cat and dog are on a carnivore diet, and the little ones get fresh veggies and sometimes fruit. I am starting to notice that the animal's grocery bill is starting to get as high, or higher then the human one around this place.

Before discovering this great site and learning about fleece, I would have to order bedding off the internet, because no where local would sell ultra carefresh. I did buy 3 other bedding types when I first got my rats, using each for a short time, but getting dissatisfied. I felt too guilty to throw it all out, so I had corn cob bedding and aspen bedding, about 100 pounds total, sitting in closet for months. I donated them to a neighbor finally. I do now have 50 lbs of timothy hay on the enclosed porch, and an 80lb bale of local hay sitting in front of house that I decided not to use other then to insulate the dog house.

If I get the house insured I am going to have a heck of a time explaining the itemized expenses dealing with pets really do cost that much. Right now I am drooling over the ferret nation cage for ratties.

Biscuit, how do you upgrade? And what does happens when you upgrade?
