The rocks serve the sole purpose of decoration, but are really more of a nuisance than anything. Find a way to get them off, and then add cactus soil where the rocks were. I would think it would be impossible to check how damp the soil is with the rocks on. Also, there is cactus food that you could buy at a nursery, and thats what Bob2 needs to be fed every 6 months. I will be praying for Bob2. Good luck! GET THE ROCKS OFF!!

Shiloh is pretty clear about things like that, and we've kept her alive for a year and a half now. You could be right. There's also my handy dandy friend Aubrey, who assured me that things should be fine. She recommended pushing the rocks out of the way to check the soil and then pushing them back (please note that I had actually thought of that, but melodrama is so much less fun when it's tempered with rational thought or subtlety). But then I tried actually doing it, and found that the rocks are glued in place. That's right folks, glued rocks. Bob2 is DOOMED.

I think they may hold the answers to you questions. Good luck Bob2 You aren’t planing on having kids any time too soon, are you….
