Living with Anteaters

Checking out Eldorado

I took her to see Eldorado, who was sleeping on the bottom of the cage. When I let her go she went on the rabbit cage but then turned around and looked at him from there. Then she got brave and crawled across my shoulders and then onto his cage and up. She hung down the sides sniffing in his hammock then left via the shelf. Eldorado slept through it all.

Eldorado's claws

Eldorado sleeping
Love how he sleeps like this a lot. He is 15.5 pounds now. He's got a belly now which is appropriate for the species since they poop every other day and pee just once a day there is a lot of stuff in their little bellies.

His arms are firming up and gaining muscle but still has a way to go before he has nice big Popeye arms like he should have.

Dosing in the basket

Looks like trouble's coming

Oh no! I just washed these sheets
The perils of giving them dirt to play with.

Tamandua arm bone
Found the right cap for it but still haven't figured out how this works with the shoulder blade they have.

They are now done water soaking and letting them dry since I forgot to buy the peroxide but will see this week how expensive it is here compared to town.
