...just not with a box and a screwdriver. I had a bag of mixed leaves for the boys because they love them, and they were dated (use by) today, so I figured tonight would be treat night. I've also been a bit off kilter with yet another viral infection recently so I don't know if I was just on autopilot, but it wasn't til I had half the bag of leaves into the cage I realised, the leaves at the bottom of the bag were rotting.

The top leaves were fine but I took them all out again as soon as I noticed and I'm kicking myself now for not noticing before I put them in the cage. I mean there's no excuse tbh, and though I'm pretty sure neither of them ate any (too busy stuffing parsley into their faces), I'm gonna be watching them both like a hawk all night.

I'm also well annoyed that the bag was still in date and the bottom of the bag was in the mess that it was in. The top was fine, which is why I didn't notice quickly enough :/ no more bagged salad leaves for me any time soon.
 
We all have moments like that I think! I give bagged lettuce to my tortoises and once I was too busy talking to notice until I realised my hand was all slimy from the leaves at the bottom. No harm done I just took the top layer off and gave fresh. :)
 
Thank you :) they don't seem to mind, they're currently munching away on hay (Comet) and kale (Blitzen) and seem rather more perturbed by the fact that there clearly wasn't enough parsley, and that Comet stood on Blitzen's fur and consequently pulled some of it out. Still, I'm glad I'm not the only one o.o
 
See, I have a theory, multi-tasking doesn't work.
think of one thing...what needs to be done and do it. You will eventually remember the other thing you think of and will tackle it properly rather than getting the two mixed up.

Hard words from someone who organises someone else life...but there you go.
 
Don't worry about it @Lorcan , at least you noticed and sorted it out. I'm sure we've all done something similar in the past. I managed to give one of my boars bloat from giving him really cold veg straight from the fridge.

And for doing random daft stuff, I'm sure we all do that too. I've lost count of the number of times I get in the shower with my specs and socks still on... saves washing them I guess.

I've been there, done that and showered whilst wearing the t-shirt :))
 
That's nothing. Just after I had baby number 3 I put the washing up in the washing machine instead of the dishwasher! Baby brain I suppose!

You didn't start the wash cycle, did you? :yikes:
 
@Jaycey I've spent several hours hunting for my glasses before only to be reminded that I'm wearing them. And I have a strong prescription, it's not like it's not obvious when I can't see :))
 
Last week while on holiday my eldest son wondered where he put his sunglasses they were on his head!:doh:
