So Eldorado started as the name for certain South American kings who would be covered in gold dust at ceremonies and means "The golden One"
So he slept in a long time then got up and had a sip of food in the afternoon. The heater coming on disturbed him but didn't scare him. He just sniffed the air then went and peed in the dirt box. I came over to say hi but he turned and went the back way to his hammock. Oh well, maybe Pua will tell him I'm good people, once she decides he's good people.
He came down and ate more later and took some ketchup from me too.
Eldorado in his hammock
Taking some food
He did eat from his bowl but this was fresher
Under the bed
He thought there should be food in that and checked the holes. His eyes cleared up but he got white tears again coming out due to is first outing being a little scary.
He's a shy boy
but he lets me touch him
Yummy ketchup
and a dust bunny from under the bed on his cheek
He really likes ketchup
First fridge raid attempt. He saw me put the ketchup in there.
Climbing the castle
No one up here
I smell a girl but can't find her
First experience with vinegar - Just missed his real first encounter it was more extreme but then he came back for more
a little more exploring
what are these?
He let me pick him up so I let him out of my room.
He was okay with the other critters
Till me dad came in the room and the dogs starting jumping around like crazed jumping beans. Hyzzie got a scratch to her nose for jumping on him. I've now trimmed needle like tips off his biggest nails. Used kitty trimmers and he didn't notice.

Oh man, you got a new Anteater! That's great. Hopefully he stays in good health, he looks like he's doing well :)
