🌧️💦🌬️🌪️ Just got all my Storm preparations done for tomorrows storm. The 350 gallon back up water tote is cleaned and filled up in case the power goes out. These things make great back up water wells if your out in the country on well water and the power goes out.
Hopefully I won’t get a lot of damage from falling trees.

Did you know that when you let your tortoise soak in water for 30 minutes that it re-hydrates them 👍🏻
So tonight both of my big 150lb tortoises get to soak in the tub ❤️
Then after I dry them off they will get Shell Saver put on their shells to condition them 👍🏻🐢✨

This weekend Fred the Emu went to a new home far away that has higher fences. He was to much of a risk to keep as much as I loved him 🥰😢
I have discovered that when you show animals love and you slowly gain their trust they eventually show you love back ❤️. I also share unique bonds with my other 2 Emus that I kept , Ester and Thing One. My plan is to pair those two up together and keep them as my breeding pair.
After all the rain from this weekend I had a full day feeding and watering everyone and making sure everything had fresh dry hay. When I went to check on Ester who was in the same pin with Fred ,…..to my surprise…there it was 😮😮😮
A big pretty Emu Egg 🥚 ❤️🙌
Before ole Fred left hopefully he got ahold of Ester real good and these eggs will be fertile 🤣🙌✨
We shal see…………stay tuned ❤️✨
(And no I’m not selling Emu eggs if anybody is wondering)

A yr ago I started my Shiitake mushroom 🍄 garden 🪴
You have to use certain types of wood cut at a certain time of year and you put the spores in the wood and you have to keep it in a shaded area and water it so it doesn’t dry out. Then when it gets colder outside they start to grow … a whole year later.
So here we are a year later and they are finally starting to grow ❤️👍🏻
Once you get the logs going like this they will produce mushrooms for up to 5 years.
Shiitake mushrooms are very good for you they are rich in vitamin B5 and copper. They are also good for fighting cancer, boosting immune system and supporting heart health.
Private message me you would like to order some mushrooms 🍄
( no sorry these are not the trippy mushrooms these are the kind you eat)

This morning I made a trip down to Panacea to pick up a Nigerian and a Nubian doe. On way down their I was expecting it to be a boring ride but figured I’d make the most of it and check out the sights sense I don’t make it down that way to often. And when I got to Crawfordville 🙌👀❤️ I absolutely loved the Halloween decorations. It looked like the buisnesses had a hay decoration contest. Round rolls and square bales decorated for Halloween 🎃
I’m sure I might have missed some of them but here’s a few that I saw.
I loved all of them it’s hard to say which one is my favorite. Which ones are your favorite …?

I ended up naming my female porcupine Sophia. She is actually friendly and will take food from me, and it seems like she knows her name.
These are her new “enrichment “ toys. I put sweet potatoes or apples in them and she has to play around with it to get the food out.👍🏻❤️

Big TANK 🐢 going in to sleep with the goats 🐐 late this afternoon right before dark ❤️🐢🐐
He’s actually pretty smart , he knows his name and has started coming to me when I call him,… mostly because he knows I have food for him 🥬🍉🍇🍓🥬

The new African Porcupine enclosure 🙌❤️👍🏻 finally finished it a few days back. And she’s loving her XL igloo dog house 🏡 ❤️😊
By accident I discovered that porcupines actually like to get in water and swim so I put a tub of water in her enclosure and she actually will get over in it and play around 🤣❤️
I still haven’t come up with a name for her yet but one of our GM’s from ATL is named Sophia and her and my porcupine kinda have the same face 🤣🤣🤣 so I’m thinking about naming her Sophia…..
And the porcupine is actually friendly and social with me but I just haven’t reached enough nerve to pet her yet because she has big teeth like a beaver 😮

A few months ago Nugget my male Double yellow headed Amazon and his girlfriend laid 4 big eggs. I was so excited 🙌😮😊.
I put tarps up around their cage so they would have extreme privacy so nothing would bother them.
They did a excellent job 👍🏻❤️👍🏻 they stayed in the nest sitting on the eggs and if they saw you or you tried to open the cage door you were getting attacked as they were defending the nest. All the behaviors I would expect from good parents.
Sooo then we had all this extreme heat 🥵 🔥🥵🔥🥵🔥🥵
I was concerned because it was so hot even in the very shaded area where I had them and they were still sitting on the eggs, which in my head meant more heat. So I don’t know if they were fertile eggs or not or if it was all that extreme heat we had but a month later when I checked they had not hatched and from what I could see inside the eggs ( see pics) nothing had developed 😢 so I threw the eggs out as they were no good 😢
Then I took the privacy tarps down and things went back to normal and then I had to catch both birds to load them in a smaller pet Taxie recently when we all evacuated from the hurricane 🌀. And after we got back and the past several days I noticed they were both in the nest box a lot and back to being on the attack when I go to feed them. So this morning I looked in the nest box and 😮😊❤️🙌✨ OMG they started laying eggs again 👍🏻🦜👍🏻🦜👍🏻🦜
So y’all keep your fingers crossed and pray this time they make it.
If things go well this time I hope to have babies by the first weekend in October,….. but I’m not going to count my eggs before they hatch, I’m just going to hope for the best 😁❤️🦜🙌✨👍🏻

Meet our new Giant Male Sulcata Tortoise 🐢. He weighs at least around 125lbs 😮 He’s big, but they do get even bigger. I put the milk jug beside him to show his size for comparison. 🐢✨I’ll be looking for a nice female to put with him in the next few months ( no rush) and then that’s it as far as reptiles go at my place.
This guy will need a name, feel free to drop name ideas in comments below. ✨🐢❤️🐢❤️✨

Welcome the newest addition to the Sumner Farm,……👀
A 6 month old female African crested porcupine ❤️✨
I’m pretty sure I’m the only one in Tallahassee and probably most of the Panhandle with one other that the Jacksonville Zoo and maybe Emerald Coast Zoo.
She likes to be petted on her head once she calms down.
I still need to come up with a name for her so let’s hear what names you have.
MYTH :: Porcupines actually do NOT shoot their quills out when frightened.

Keep your fingers crossed, this was a long time in the making. Nugget and his Girlfriend have 🥚🥚eggs in the nest box. A lot of time was spent pairing these 2 up together and they truly are in love 🥰 ❤️✨🦜🦜
Now I just have to give them as much privacy as possible and pray they hatch them out with no problems. These 2 birds are both incredible talkers with huge vocabularies and they whistle whole songs and they laugh 😂 and they know their names,… truly amazing birds 🦜❤️🦜
Stay tuned ….. I’ll know in 26 days if the eggs hatch 🐣 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️

Last night I got to witness a interesting goat phenomenon.
Moma goat A. Was giving birth and after her first 2 babies came out Moma goat B. Decided to help out and start licking afterbirth off the babies. This caused her to think the babies were hers. 😮
In between contractions and while Moma goat A was trying to give birth to baby #3 she would head but the other goat to let her know who the real Moma was and to back off her babies. So I put a gate up and gave Moma goat A her own space with her babies so she could finish giving birth. Then The whole situation caused Moma goat B to act like her babies had been taken away and then she went into labor ( a little early if you ask me).
Moma goat B did give birth to one baby boy eventually.
So from previous experiences like this and witnessing this first hand what did I learn,….. when one goat is giving birth it can trigger another goat to go into labor and give birth.
Odd but true.
BTW… the white goat Moma goat A had 2 boys and one girl
Moma goat B the brown one had a little boy ❤️🐐❤️🐐❤️✨✨✨✨

My driving buddy this morning to the Feed Store and back. This was her first time in the truck sitting on my arm for a quick outing. She did excellent, no problems what so ever.
Back when I had Elvis my umbrella Cockatoo the first time I took Elvis out in public he was so excited to ride in the car that he bit my lip out of excitement. Thank God that didn’t happen with this big pretty girl. ( I still gotta come up with a name for her)

Good morning 🌞

The Emu’s are finally in their new enclosure.

Took all the goats out for a free range foraging walk this afternoon. ❤️🐐❤️🐐🐐🐐🐐 They love doing this. I’ll open the front gate wide open and holler.. let’s go, let’s go….and they all come running. Then we all venture into the vacant property next door so the goats can eat blackberry bushes, oak leaves, pine needles and wild flowers. Did you know that oak leaves and pine needles are a good natural de-wormer 🐛for goats 🐐❤️

Last night I pulled 25 newly hatched baby chickens out of the incubator and put them in the brooder. One little chick was stuck trying to hatch out of the egg so I helped him the rest of the way out. I went back and checked on him a hour or so later and he looked like he possibly had a crooked foot so I left him in the incubator overnight and hoped he would straighten his foot out on his own. This morning I checked and crooked foot is perfectly fine 👏😊 chirping his head off and walking around with no problem. Yaaay crooked foot made it ❤️🤣✨

Back up water reserve

Hurricane 🚩preparations activated. Cleaning out my 355 gallon water tote. It sits empty all year long, when a hurricane is in the Gulf or potentially heading this way I wash it out and fill it with water and bleach, let that sit for a night, wash it out real good the next day and empty it out. Then right before the hurricane hits I’ll fill it all the way up and if we loose power ( I’m on we’ll water) like we normally do then I’ll still have water for all the animals.
