Storm nibbles the roots of the plan during the weekend. I feed him a couple of extra pellets Friday afternoon and first thing Monday morning. I bring him home for long (3 day) weekends. So far he seems fine with that. I can usually tell by his color if he's upset, his face is beautiful navy blue, almost black, and when he's upset (like when I drive ) he get's pale, kind of grayish. I'm bringing him home tonight, I don't like this algae and I'll keep him home until next Monday at least, to lessen the trauma.
