I know what you mean, those cute little eyes are always going, "Spend every cent on me! That shows you love me! If you don't, that means you don't love me! Otherwise I'll pinch you!" And if they don't like a toy, they either bury it or ignore it. I get them little goodies from my garden, like pieces of bark or pebbles, and they act like it's not good enough, little rogues! Once I saw Fudge getting in the big hermie pool and struggling, so I (you won't believe this), I dug up one of my bamboo plants and some bark and created a raft for her! Luckily, the 2 left ( ) love it and use it every time they go in.

Also, I used to have acorns that held up that shell, but they would roll those away and sleep under there! It made me so mad, cuz I'd spent a long time looking for just the right acorns to hold up the shell, and they just scorn them!

I swear, sometimes I think hermies are spoiled rotten little beachdogs.
