Whitmoregirl's Wombles

I never introduced Boof and Buoy, my axolotls!

Those who go on the eGerbil forum or into the sunday eGerbil chat room will know them; for those who don’t, Boof is the albino on the right, Buoy is the very speckled leucistic on the left. They’re both housed seperately at the moment but should go in together once they’re a little larger, and once I’ve got a bigger tank for the pair!

Not for the photos, they’re just of Ob, Monty, Harpo and Pan sleeping or generally being gerbils, for the video. BUT WHO WOULD or even COULD, RESIST?!

.. know what these things are?

Are they young coots? I’ve never seen them looking like this, only as adults and chicks.
Oh and a dozen steps away from them was this young chickalickling of a coot (complete with flame-red feathers) with mum..

Sorry for the blurry & distanced photos, turns out I’m not aquawoman.
