Stardate 0501.11 - Ah, Adolescence
a milestone today: the amphibi-dracs have reached adolescence. and seem to have forgotten everything they learned in childhood! do they remember to eat if they're hungry? oh, and toys are SO childish. no, these adolescents can't be bothered with those. elevators are all the rage. forget eating and playing, it's pull elevator all day.
and they don't listen. i point to toys, i say push toy, i say no, no, a thousand times no.... i drag them away, i pick them up and plunk them down elsewhere.... i skritch them when they DO use a toy, i even swatted them when they pulled the elevator. ooooh, those rebellious teens!
despite the time and effort it took to raise them this far, i swear i am frustrated enough to let them die out if they can't get over this elevator obsession. why is it the norns i don't pay attention to and don't coddle have no trouble whatsoever, but the ones i hand-raise (no pun intended) have all kinds of problems? am i bad parent!?!?
i've gone ahead and moved drago and dracha to the forest in avantasia. i've also removed norngarden and the gargoyle norns from narnia. i'll put the gargoyles in their own norngarden docking station, and let them live unmolested for a while. i might put in some drac eggs with them, see if they manage to survive. but having a gargoyle norngarden IN avantasia-naria was just getting beyond the scope of the project, here.
and since i exported goliath and gala, (and some fool had the breeding limit set all the way up to 12 instead of 2, like it's supposed to be!) two more narnian eggs have hatched. both are generation three, and both are offspring of astra and blithe. i didn't know those two got along so well. one is a male, with astro body and zebra head, and one is female, mostly astro but with striped legs.
also, fayli died today. she was hovering over the eggs in the incubation area, and didn't get enough starch to eat.
