A friend for Kitty?

My little Kitty is settling in well, having lots of fun hiding in teapots and things. She keeps looking into the corners of the tank though, swimming along beside her reflection- is she trying to hint that she wants a friend? I was planning to wait until she's fully grown (and confirmed a he or she!) and get another adult, to avoid getting eggies, but maybe she's lonely? What do people think?

I'm not sure they get lonely as such, but I do think they act differently when they have pals. We've deliberately kept Albi separate because we love his personality so much and don't want him to change!

I love watching Chester and Roscoe bounding round their tank, they are quite hilarious, and I can't recommend getting another lotl highly enough - but you are absolutely right to consider the future and the fact you may end up needing a second tank. Still, that means you can get them more friends of the same sex!

Albi is a bit magic. :) I'll probably decide to be sensible and wait until she's an adult- I might have to move to Cambridge in a year's time (I hope!) and it's going to be enough of a nightmare getting everything and everyone there as it is... I can't be adding another 2ft of tank to that!

Let's both go to Cambridge and get a flat together, and fill it FULL of weird animals!
