New Arrivals.
Oops! Well I haven't got off to the best of starts in trying to keep the blog up, have I?!
Oh well, there's lots of new additions to the Sharp household, though I can't remember the technical names of most of them! We've now got 2 coreuleus (something like that!) fish that are yellow, an opaline gourami and a gold gourami to go with the 2 kribs and parrot fish, plus a farting turtle! It doesn't actually fart, but it does blow bubbles from under it's shell, so it's rather amusing to watch, especially if a fish gets caught out and ends up getting hit!
The parrot fish is getting really big now because all it does is eat! We were warned mind, but it literally eats everything it sees, so it's just as well there aren't any little fishes swimming around!
The 2 newest additions though are the Roborovski dwarf hamsters that we bought the kids today! We wanted Russian ones really so that they'd be able to hold them and pet them but we were advised not to get them because you can't place 2 together that haven't been in the same cage because they'd more than likely fight! These ones are tiny and so cute but they're as fast as lightning so the kids won't really be able to hold them. In fact, I'll probably find it hard to catch them, so god help me when it comes to cleaning them out! I've got that joy to come at the weekend so we'd better invest in a play box before then!
The lady at Pets At Home was 97.9% sure that they're both males so here's hoping we don't end up with babies coming out of our ears! As for the names, son saw a rabbit beforehand that looked a fudge brown colour, so he decided that that was going to be his name, and as for daughter, I think it was basically because it rhymes!
They've got some kind of glow in the dark rotostak home going on and only Fudge has managed to reach the top tier so far, so the kids have been glued to the side of the cage watching them and willing them to do something! Wonder how long it'll last..?
