Goodbye, Mr Fips

This morning I loaded Fips and his home-made hollow log into the Batmobile, and took him to the farm between Portland and Wallarawang. Simone will do the final stage of his rehab. I know she has a decent yard; she has raised 15 baby wombats over the years, so an echidna will be a doddle.

She is building a new cage around a pile of old fallen timber containing a termite nest, so Fips will have good accommodation. When the times comes, Simone will open the gate and leave him to it.

Goodbye Fips. It's been an interesting six months.

What's a "doddle?" I've never heard that name before...

From what I've read, "doddle" seems to be Australian for "easy" or "simple" or "uncomplicated".

Doddle = easy, simple.

Oho! I thought Fips was to be a family pet. Silly me!

I'm glad he recovered, and I'm sure he's very glad to have been in your tender care.

Have the best
