Water Bowl Surprise

January 12, 2010

I never know what I’m going to find when I turn over one of the heated water bowls to dump out the old water.

Back in October, it was a slug with eggs.  This morning, it was a Earthworm Spa.

Earthworms that were hiding under heated water bowl.

Nice and warm, slightly moist… just the right kind of beauty treatment for earthworms!

Maybe I should start a worm farm!

P.S. If your heated water bowls are cleaner than mine, I don’t want to hear about it.  The roosters stand in this bowl frequently, and only a toilet bowl brush will scrub off all the grime.  And it’s too cold right now to play in water!  Besides, the water still looks pretty clean, even if the bowl doesn’t.

Right now the priority is clean water, not clean bowls.
