It's funny to think the first thing they did was to run off together toward the darkest most snug spot they could find for themselves. I'd had no clue about their eating and excreting habits until I read your description. Instead, I'd been imagining little pebbly bits (likely larger than the ones rabbits leave) you'd have to keep a careful watch for. Now I understand how neat (in both senses) they'd be to have around the house. I wonder if they spent their entire visit, besides bathtub afternoons, hiding in that cupboard? Did they stay long enough to explore the garden or have a dip in a wading pool? <br /><br />We saw a couple of big African land turtles at the local natural history museum last week. They were penned in a small room sized enclosure floored with straw and no water at all - just a lamp underneath which one was basking while the other was making a valiant effort to scratch through the wooden barrier. I have a feeling he never made it out but we didn't stay there long - too many stuffed animals and very few live ones means we likely won't return.<br /><br />I hope you'll tell us a few more stories about your guests. Weren't there others too? Anyway, you do write a good story and the picture of your granddaughter in the pool is lovely.<br /><br />ps: I was delighted to hear from Lindsay too :-)susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-22087168400565202412013-03-05T09:06:20.852-08:002013-03-05T09:06:20.852-08:00Lindsay!
