One of the guys at my husband's offfice gave him this huge grapefruit today.
I'll open it tomorrow, I hope it isn't all rind.

My first thought when I saw that was "Who knew you could cross a grapefruit and a cantalope!"

Well, as I expected, it has a large amount of rind. But, it has great texture and is juicy and sweet!
Maybe in the desert, a thick rind is a good thing!

I personally think it's actually a Pommelo. (Citrus grandis)
Did you know that the pith makes great bedding?

The Pommelos I have seen here are always light green or yellow and have very tight shiny skin.Detlor Poultry said:
This fellow's tree is a Pink Grapefruit, that normally has "regular" looking fruit.
How is the "pith" made into bedding?

Just rip it into little pieces and put it in the nest boxes!
