Living with Anteaters

I took to many pictures but she took a long hike.

Exploring the woods

Near the fallen tree

On the fallen tree

Under the fallen tree

Dozing off

Cracks in the earth
This was Pua's last trip to her hallow tree. It's no longer safe for heavy humans out there with the ground falling away to the river. If the river stays high like it is then her tree may be gone to the river soon anyway.

Where's the rocky beach?

Getting a bit wet

Crossing another fallen tree

End of the trail
This is where the rock bridge is but it's covered by water now.

Heading for the woods
You can see the river was even up this high recently. It laid down all the grass.

Checking out the river again

I will climb it

Her hallow tree
It's the middle big one. You can see how it's washing out under now. I hope it does fall in the river so I wont have to tell her no next time we go.

Where another tree fell
And took the trail into the river with it.

Her sun bathing rock
That would be this rock

My the water is high

Rubbing on the rock
To cold to swim but the cool wet rock feels good.

All sprawled out

Inspecting for grubs

Climbing

Coming up from the river again

Checking out a log

Some after walk grooming

Big poop
I apologize for another poop photos so soon but I was impressed by the size of it. He last pooped two nights ago which is the same schedule as Pua(every other night) but his poop is 2 to 3 times the size of hers.

PS there's some bits of food there too because he eats on the shelf so some falls down.

Hammock troubles
I tried to tell him a pocket hammock only has one opening but he didn't listen. He made another opening in the back side and is hanging out of that.
Stewie did the same thing to his hammock. Maybe boys would be better with a blanket hammock, where it's only stitched on two sides instead of 3.

Conserving energy
Rather than climb up and down he slept by his food till he was done for the night.

I took Pua to see Eldorado in the cage. I held her near him while he was eating. He looked up to say hi and a moment later she hiss/growled and squirmed to get away so I took her away and gave her a treat. Eldorado was unphased and went back to eating. Guess he's used to moody ladies. It took her that moment to decide to be upset though so we're making baby steps, closer.
