Dear all, I joined the site recently. It is not very busy. I suspect some guest visitors are members who have not logged in. I have done this myself.
There is a parallel story with some restaurants. The open. The food is good. The staff and customers are enthusiastic. Then gradually little things go wrong. Perhaps a good chef or waiter leaves. Maybe a new manager does everything wrong and upsets the staff and customers. gradually people stop going and tell their friends. The money coming in does not cover the overheads. Morale is low and staff either leave or are made redundant. Customers go to other restaurants. The restaurant closes.
We have nearly 300 members. If 5% of us posted something that would be 15 posts. Might I suggest a list of creatures you are keeping and perhaps a quick comment
I'll start. I have common frogs, toads and 2 species of newt breeding wild in garden. I am just constructing a 5 meter enclosure intending keeping bombina, water frogs of some sort and wall lizards.
Progress has been slow due to me starting with a vague plan in my head rather than detailed written ones. The walls are to be made of toughened glass.Yesterday I accidentally hit one of them with a hammer and now have several thousand tiny pieces of glass on top of my pond liner.
A temporary but expensive set back.
