    Well done guys, such a great take on how you make things work. Cat grass might be good for Freya, and putting the dogs bowls away will help with food guarding. I had to laugh at 14:27, Freya is like "I've got this feeling, somebody's watching me " 😂
    You've created a great home on wheels for your fur babies.

    So many things to consider. Loved this insight into dealing with pets. You have both worked really hard to help them adjust and love their new bus life.
    We have 2 cats and 2 dogs in our tiny home and it takes a lot of energy and organisation to sort out all the issues that come up. Every day I sweep up a whole extra animal in hair from the floor. We have pots of cat grass growing inside for the cats or bring bunches of grass inside.
    Our dog can get on the bench if we leave anything at the front and loves to eat the cat poo so we put a door with a latch on the bathroom leaving about 20cm for cats to pass through to their toilets but dogs can’t get in. We made the cats their own cabins by cutting a hole in the front of some cardboard boxes and putting blankets inside.
    Cat poo does have different pathogens. We put it with our humanure - my understanding is that it would need about 2 years breaking down the pathogens and shouldn’t be put near food plants - same as humanure. We are still looking for solid answers on this though so let me know what you find out.

      I think I'm going to need to get Freyja some cat grass! Is it hard to keep alive?
      Dogs are opportunists for sure hahaha! 🤣 No matter how much of a good boy they are, if they get one whiff of something 'good' try and stop them! 🩵🤣
      I know Robyn puts her cat poj through a worm farm and then on natives so I wonder if that helps to speed up the process at all
      Take care 💕

      Cat grass is really easy to look after and lasts for ages (months) especially if you put in a pot a bit bigger than the grass clump and just keep it watered. Grows well in any light.
      Of course! Worm farm would be a good idea - we have so many in our humanure anyway and sometimes end up infested with soldier fly larvae in our manure bins which I understand is similar to worms processing I think? I’ll check out Robyn’s take on it - I think she has a video on composting.

    Hi Di and Sam. She’s so cute. I do miss a purring cat about and you know I love your dogs. I love the show be your manners Di. It makes sense scratching her ramp. I wouldn’t leave food down. Where it’s accessible. It sounds like his resource grading. I’d only put food out when you’re there. Feeding them at the same time always. Cat nip grass for the cat might help in her own planter. I loved this video. I’ve not seen it done before. It was an interesting take and very helpful to those who plan to follow in your steps.

      Thanks for the tip and heads up Rose! I'll certainly be more vigilant about moving food away from the space, yes they do eat at the same time. But Eris hoofs his down while to takes at least 10 minutes hahaha, I think Eris thinks he's getting more than him 🤣🤣

      @ look into a slow feeder for Erie. Their not that expensive but I do find they are cheaper on line. This is not uncommon at all with dogs.

    Maybe you can grow some grass in a pot to keep in the bus, and some catnip. Some people use a cat harness with a long leash so their cats can safely roam a bit outdoors.

    Wait. Are you really traveling around Australia with pets? Aren't there spiders the size of small kids that will eat them? Not to mention all the other poisonous creatures you have there 😳 I would have visited the country years ago, but I am too afraid of freakishly big creepy crawlies

    • @DiandSam
      @DiandSam  16 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Hahaha don't let it stop you from visiting, they are really not that big and not present everywhere!! Maybe stick to the city areas rather than rural and you'll be fine 🤣🤣🤣 luckily none of them have been eaten yet!

    Sorry, but have you ever driven in a car with the safety belt wrapped round your neck? Can you imagine what would happen in a crash? Please, in the interest of your dogs, get two harnesses.
