The little guys are growing so fast
I think very soon they are going to need a new home. The four juveniles where joined by the midget adult( second picture) I hadn't realised that it was so small, or that my juveniles had grown so big, but there is little difference between them in size now. Last week one of the juveniles visited Ned's nursery class, the children where spectacularly disinterested, the parents however thought they where amazing
Meanwhile, during mid summer the adults had been spending more time on their floating island, so I set up a terrestrial tub out doors with a water bowl for them. I added the group to it and they all promptly hopped in to the water and didn't leave
.
A few weeks ago I set up their aquatic tub in the shed and plonked the three adults in. The two females are looking rather well rounded and Marmaduke has been slowly developing his spiky little crest. Today I received another male, plus another little travelling companion . Once the new male decides to become aquatic, he will join the original group.
