Puggle

[den]

Feeding time last night was so much easier. I put Rexie into the plastic box that stops her from running off while I weigh her, and I noticed her tongue flicking. "Hullo," I thought. "She knows food is coming."

So instead of holding her at the dish I put the dish in the box. Rexie snuffled and licked around the base of the dish, worked her way up to the top, then down the inside until her nose hit the food. A few seconds later she was ankle deep in the food and slurping away. I covered the box with a towel and left her to it.

Feeding times are going to be so much less prickley now.

I usually cover dough with a towel when I leave it to rise so what you wrote above conjures up images of a slowly expanding puggle. :-)

That's pretty much how it went. She ate 86g of food, rather a lot for an animal weighing 495g at the start.

How smart are echidnas? Will she recognize you as opposed to other people, like a puppy would? Or do you not have to worry about her becoming tamed?

I'm dying to see some pictures of her, if you get the chance...
