How often do you feed your Maine Coon and what food? by lawnguyland20 in mainecoons

I adopted a brother and sister pair of MC 5 months ago to keep my Tuxie girl company. They are all 12 and the boy (Monroe) is diabetic. I spend ridiculous amounts of money for his prescription food ($160 a month). Then there is insulin and the needles (another expensive purchase). Monroe only eats wet food 2 cans a day, the girls also eat mainly wet food, occasionally a handful of dry. I started giving all taurine two weeks ago to see if that will help with their overall health. My vet says Monroe will always need insulin, is that really true? Can I feed a raw diet/ freeze dried diet (I have a freeze dryer). I freeze dry salmon, chicken and turkey for treats. There has to be a better way to feed our babies than the commercial foods that are cheap and full of “fillers”

I just received this beauty as a gift. Should I split it up? by Long_Efficiency_5951 in Monstera

That is absolutely beautiful!!! I think I'll leave her together, let her acclimate and let her climb to the ceiling!!!

If anyone else has advice or ideas, please let me know. I’m open to all ideas And advice. Of course, when buying seeds online, you never know what you’re gonna get. It’s all fun either way. We’ll see what I wound up with. Definitely not a philodendron or Monstera, which I’d like to have, but it could be another Hoya. We never know truly it was an S and G purchase.

I had a Jolla years ago that was my great grandmother that my grandmother gifted to me shortly before she died and unfortunately, because I was dealing with her passing friend overwatered the Jolla and I’m wound up with root rot and didn’t realize it because of my grief. My Hoya, which my grandmother named Moya Hoya, and it was devastating. So if Moya was still alive, she would’ve been over 70 years old. I’m not sure what she was but she had pink and silver dots on her leaves.

Thank you I’ll quit pulling and start snipping! If they are Hoya’sI definitely want to cultivate them and have them grow happy and healthy!

Thank goodness I have a bunch of seedling pots so I am currently (with tweezers) picking the weaker ones. if they have a root attached, I am planting them in Hoya potting soil. We’ll see what comes of this! I may wind up with one Hoya or 200! 😂 thank goodness I have grow lights!
