Whitmoregirl's Wombles

My brother appeared home today! He’s been in Oz for a year and randomly appeared at the front door which made my mum say “Oh shit!” in surprise (she never swears lol).

Oh and look at Milo! –

He still has to use the tray & litter (and I have to put a bag down the toilet to make sure he doesn’t kick it all down there!) but he’s taught himself how to sit properly on the toilet and pee/poo onto the pan.. now just to wean him off the litter & teach him how to read a newspaper because, well, just look at that face of concentration!

Dookie is in luuuuurve, he decided to drop a few spermatores around the tank for Buoy last night!

The lucky lady and the loved-up fool: (love the size difference )

One of his many ‘presents’:

I vacuumned them up later on but a couple had vanished, so we’ll see if she was receptive and picked any up.

Not for me, for me today was a day off work (although I feel more exhausted than when I am at work!). No, it was a big day for my ‘little’ axolotl, Dookie!

I spent a good part of 4/5 hours clearing the main tank, retying and clipping the plants and generally tidying. Because the filter on the axolotl tank is so good, I rarely have to do a thorough clean on the axolotl tank and typically do a small water change each weekend.

After my thorough clean I gave my axolotls (and the cat, and me) a bit of chicken each, which as an afterthought, wasn’t particularly the right order to do so in, but we all enjoyed it anyway.

Once the axolotls were full (and Milo was begging for more), I plopped Dookie into the big tank. And he promptly shot off into Boof, scaring the bejebas out of her. Not the best first move really..

Dookie is currently sitting in one corner, recovering from the ‘trauma’ (pansy) and Boof is hanging out in the plants (literally) above Buoy while she is oblivious to the newbie and sitting under the log ornament.

Should be interesting to see what happens once they decide to start moving about again!
