Hamstertrap

Once again my hamster went mising, and given his stellar survival rate in my house full of lazy predators, I decided to be proactive and set a trap for him. A simple bucket trap can be made by smearing peanut butter in the bottom of a bucket and then stacking books or other objects up to make steps to the top.

























Of course, as soon as I set it up I found the hamster in his vast network of cages, right where he should be. I did, however, catch something.

Tortoise Hunt!

I like to visit the Turtle Sanctuary and play with the tortoises. My favorite part is rounding them up in the evening and putting them in their houses for the night.

































I'm pretty good at finding their favorite hiding spots. Tortoises are like Easter-eggs with feet.
























Some of them are very heavy.








































I had thought all the really big tortoises had gone to zoos recently. I was wrong.




































The turtle sanctuary also has a lot of birds. Turkeys, peacock, ducks, and lots and lots of chickens.

































I'm not sure there's anything quite as silly as a hen trying to brood a tortoise like an egg.
