I quite agree about the cat situation - I think it's ridiculous to hear cat owners saying that it's cruel to keep their cats inside at night! When we had cats, one of ours, Dukey, was a real hunter and I had a Swiss cow bell on his collar so that when he ran, it'd make a heck of a racket so that the birds would hear it and fly away. I think someone took it off his collar as one day he came home, collar intact, and no cow bell. I had to resort to putting about 4 cat bells on instead.

But our cats were always kept inside at night and they were quite happy to sleep on our bed and not chase other cats or night animals!



But Tracy ... I now know why I elected to stay in WA, close to the beach, and not in the forest environments of Sydney

Oh my, Emma! That's amazing, to think that she dug such a lot that she lost her toes. Poor little Pebble!

yeah i felt sorry for her but i think that is why no-one wanted to buy her but me and y bf looked at her and fell in love with her straight away.

we just fed her and she loved it

love em

maybe they will grow back... can't reptiles regenerate lost limbs?

(there are scientists here that are trying to make that ability avaliable to soldiers, I read a little artical on it.... It was an intesting notion, but I don't like it. It's kinda wierd actually....) Mad Scientists anyways...

yeah that is what we are thinking but not sure that they will grow back but only think she cant do is climb on high things so we get logs and stuff that she can sit on and bask in the sun (light) but she is a happy little girl which is great she doesnt really like me i dnt think but she will get used to me over time.
we have to wear gloves to hold her cos she likes to bite lol

love em

Em,
Sadly, I don't think toes grow back. The only thing I've seen grow back is a tail, end even that was not an exact replica of the original.

I've got a goofy idea: make some little "sandals" or "shoes" with artificial toes and claws attached. They make flippers for dolphins and beaks for birds and wheels for paralyzed ferrets - why not prosthetic toes for a goana. (sp) If there's enough of a "knob" left there, surly you could manage to strap something on it (little skates even).

OH Gary I can just picture poor Pebbles on skates. Em does she get around ok If her feet are healed and she moves ok I guess Pebbles will get by. Happy for you & I'm sure in time Pebbles will become a friendly little girl, once she gets to know you better & that you mean her no harm
Hugs to you & A little pat on the head for Pebbles.

that would be a great new look for her lol but she gets around fine cos she started when she was very young but there isnt much of the toes left to attact anything but it was a great idea.
i would pat her but she will bite me so i will pat her on her back she seems to like that alot i can hold her now and she deosnt want to run away or even bite me we still have to wear gloves for the time being but she is doing great

love em
