Living with Anteaters

June 15th
Okay so maybe Aurora wasn't just visiting for food. She came by last night and mom even offered her a bowl of food on the way and she walked around it to come visit. She didn't stay long though and ate once she got back on the cage top.

Pua, Aurora and Ori Cinco tamanduas - getting to know each other

Lately when Aurora visit Pua tries to play with her. Tonight Aurora brought her baby too. I think when Pua grabbed her rear at the end Aurora thought it was Ori. I snatched Ori at the end and weighed her before giving her back. I knew she had a growth spurt recently but was still surprised to see 8 pounds! PS since there's always at least one commenter - That stuff that looks like poop is Pua's food before it's been eaten.
