It took me hours to get this shot of the flying fox. Here is a sad fact regarding this unique animal that has been killed as it is thought that it only eats fruit but its diet consist mostly of pollin and nectar:
Mauritian flying fox, is being pushed toward extinction. Since 2015, the government has killed more than 50,000 flying foxes, reducing the population of the endangered bats to likely fewer than 30,000.
Fortunately our Creator will soon step in and safe this species as well.

We found this poor animal floating in the ocean today, before you ask I didn't do CPR as it was too late. For the local people here in Mauritius it goes by the name tang. But if you want to read here are some fun facts regarding this beautiful animal:

The tailless tenrec is the largest species of the tenrec family, Tenrecidae. It is 26 to 39 cm (10 to 15 in) in length and weighs up to 2 kilograms. The animal is omnivorous and, unlike the herbivorous rodents for which it is often mistaken, possesses small, needle-like sharp teeth for a diet of larger invertebrates, frogs, reptiles, mice and other small mammals, as well as fruits, leaves and other vegetation. If threatened, this tenrec will scream, erect its spiny hairs to a crest, jump, buck and bite. It shelters in a nest of grass and leaves under a rock, log or bush by day. It gives birth to a litter of as many as 32 young, with an average litter between 15 and 20 after a gestation of 50–60 days; when young, they have a black-and-white striped appearance.

Hi all my worm mates.
When preparing your worm farms for at least 5 weeks:
1) Get anough food ready
2) You can blend the food, it will last longer if
you don't, I did as I still had lots of food in
my farms
3) Add the food to your farm, then carton or
toilet paper rolls
4) Then add some shredded news paper
5) Add leaves
6) Blanket
7) Last but not least you need to add water
just anough to wet the paper
Finally cover them up and they are ready to go to work whilst you are having fun.

Are you going on holiday?
Don't forget your hard workers at home, they are not on holiday. Actually they are hard at work and will not take a break while you have a rest. Next I will post some examples on how to feed them while you are away.

Hi everyone, just a reminder. When you harvest your worm castings, remember to take some eggs out and put them back in your worm farm to keep your worm population strong. That's only if you want to. Otherwise they will hatch in your garden and continue their great work.

And this is the moment a baby tiger worm hatch.I found this one today as I sorted some eggs ... Happy worm farming 🪱🪱🪱

Why do compost/tiger worms bundle together? You know that bees communicate with each other by doing dance patterns, dolphins communicate through sound under water, but how do worms communicate with each other? Scientists in the University of Liege in Belgium have discovered the answer to this question. "In one of our newsletters we had a reader who inquired why earthworms form clumps of balls together in compost or when out in the open. One of the reasons is because this is their form of communication." The study has been published in the journal of Ethology mentioning that worms uses ‘touch’ to communicate and influence each others behavior. After communication signals have been swapped, the worms will then collectively move in the same direction, meaning that worms do not act singularly, but form ‘herds’. Happy Worm farming 🪱🪱🪱

Have you seen them in your wormfarm and wondered if they can cause any harm? Please read the following as it is interesting to see that they are good for your farm. You’ve probably never heard of them, let alone seen them, but it’s likely you have some in your wormfarm. Springtails are only 1-2 mm long but are ubiquitous, found in every habitat except the oceans. Springtails are closely related to insects – they have six legs and a head, thorax and abdomen – but are not insects because they lack wings and have soft bodies and hidden mouthparts. Springtails are known scientifically as Collembola. Collembola are unique in carrying a jumping organ beneath the abdomen, held in place with hooks. When released, the jumping organ springs free, hitting the ground and forcing the animal to leap into the air, hence their common name. In the wild, springtails can be found in leaf litter, soil, under bark, in sand, under stones, in tree canopies and even in caves and ant and termite nests. In termite nests they may control fungal growth. Most importantly, springtails have been shown to be useful bioindicators of environmental change. Some male springtails perform a complex mating dance to attract the female. Other species are carried by insects for dispersal or feeding purposes. In Australia, there are several thousand species, most found only in this country. In any garden compost heap there will be millions of individuals belonging to about ten species. Native springtails may be brightly coloured and patterned; white, if living in soil; or black if living in exposed habitats such as mountain tops, beaches or coral reefs. Happy wormfarming ...

I finally got some baby worms on video. Once the babies hatch they will already be organic waste eating machines. Happy worm farming 🪱🪱🪱

And that is why it's called liquid gold ...

I saved this Sanseveria (mother in law's tongue) at work, it took my worm tea less than 21 days to transform it into a healthy plant.
