Ibera
My first ibera is up, she popped up early this morning, I left her a few hours to get warmed up a bit. She is now well soaked and back in the GH. I have left some weeds, but not expecting her to eat so soon, but you never know:0)
Four to go, two more have poked their heads through the soil, but not completely up yet:0)

Spring must be coming. I bet it’s lovely to see them again.

How long was she down? I bet she’s starving now she’s warmed up.

Lovely to see the sunshine today but so far none of my iberas are up just three Horsfields and one Hermann so far.

With all the rain we’ve had I think there’s going to be plenty of weeds this spring. My outside enclosures are covered through the winter but I can see they have sowthistle and cats ear forests inside.

Well I let the Burmese browns out yesterday and they went straight for some long grass I had left and never touched any of the weeds which really surprised me as I have an abundance of sweet thistles growing which normally they eat off to the ground.

I think there are weeds if you look hard enough or if you are organised and sow weed seeds in the autumn and let them do their thing through the winter.
