Just peeked in on him and he was passed out against a rock. How is that comfortable? XD

That is the cutest picture I have ever seen. Reminds me of the awkward positions that little kids fall asleep in.

Here's the path leading into her hide. It was blocked by coir until she decided it was bedtime.

Thank you for your reply! They are just beautiful are they? But I'm just a temporarily care taker for this week. They will return to their owner next week. I'm honored to have them this week. I do enjoy their accompany. I took many photos....

Omgosh that sleeping with the head up is hilarious and adorable! Looks like he's meditating.

Thank you for your reply and I wasn't very sure he/she was at sleep but surely, he/she is. Too bad that I can only have them for a week. But many, many good pictures.

I'm raising a fatty :)


I was going to edit this into my last post, but was apparently 5 minutes too late.

I was watching Family Feud with my parents when he snuggled up to my armpit and fell asleep. I took that to mean he was cold and wanted to go back to his home, where he dug himself a hole in his favorite corner and slept.


I'm obviously horrible at using these forums.

Bullet likes to get in as far as he can in the little rock formation we made for him, even though he has his own hut, he prefers to get his face as close as he can in the rocks. He is so adorable.:tort: 2014-01-11_21 16 19.jpg2014-01-11_21 15 56.jpg
