Backdated to Thursday sometime...
Marie-Annnnnge! Will you take care of Derp while I'm away? If you're thinking about saying no, ask yourself if you can say no to this face:

I'm pretty sure you can't.

	I find it curious that you put clothes on him, mais oui, I shall take care of him while you are away. Anything specific I should know? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Gotta protect him from the elements.

Yes. Yes, there is. I feed him twice a day, and I can put the food in little baggies for you with the right portions. I'll put it in my lunchbox in the back corner of the bottom shelf of the fridge for you.

I usually feed him before I go to class and then again around dinner time. Make sure you take out anything he doesn't eat after about half an hour or it'll go bad and be disgusting. Keep his water bowl filled about halfway... I rinse it out completely every night, too.

Make sure that the temperature in his habitat is at least 85 degrees when he's eating or he can't digest. It needs to be at least 80 at all other times. I'll show you how to turn it up and down when I get back to the room.

I'm going to toss a baggie of blackberries in there too, because they're his favorite treat. So if he's being good (which he will be, because he's a good boy), you can give him a berry.

IF you're comfortable with it, you can let him wander around the room. Especially after he eats dinner, if you put his poop box out in the bathroom, he'll go in there and then you can just flush it and refill the water... I'll show you that too. Sorry there's poop.

Umm... I think that's it. Unless I missed something huge, in which case I hope I catch it.

	This does not seem so hard. I would be glad to help with him. Perhaps we should practice before you leave, though, oui? To ensure that I am doing things properly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are the best! Definitely. I'll be back in the room soon if you're around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oui, I am. We can begin practice when you return then. (Reply to this) (Parent)
