Bat Matters
The six freetails from Mogriguy are starting to look a bit thin, which is understandable when you consider they haven't eaten anything for 9 weeks. They are very sluggish when I look at them. I'll try to feed them when they come out of torpor.
Xena jumped on my hand last night and sniffed around looking for food. I think I've been forgiven. I have no doubt I could go back on her shit list in a second but it's nice to have her being frie- tolerating.
Last night I picked up Ysabeau for her feed, which takes ages and is a tedius job, but instead of the sleepy, stiff, cold, torpid animal of the last few weeks I found a warm bundle of energy. She scampered onto my hand and snuffled around before licking the at the worm smells on my fingers. She munched through a dozen small worms even trying to pick them up from the ground. She is trying to self-feed; an excellent sign.The usual go in a case like this is that within a week I won't have to handle the animal and it can just eat what I throw into the dish. Less handling is better for the animal no matter how much I want to pat them and squeeze them and call them George.
Ysabeau even flew from one side of the tent to the other. Looks like I'll have 2 for the flight room.

I can't believe I wore a tie yesterday. The Aasterix one again. Asterix will protect me.

awwww, ain't that cute...
Glad to hear that Ysabeau is doing fine, and that Xena is, well, less bitchy then what she was. :8)
the asterix tie again? surely you have other ties?
anyway, Cacofonix is cooler :8)
