After a run of reptiles, axolotyls and regular stuff, someone suggested these. Brought the radio show to a standstill of groans when they googled it.. so I had to have a look. And I have to agree with them, I think these are worse than axolotyls! Mind you - I am not sure these qualify as pets... but they are closely linked to guinea pigs... so i guess it is possible!
May I present the African Naked Mole Rat.
The National Geographic site gives us this first image - and best of all, you can enlarge it and make it a wallpaper on your computer... I am sure you can't wait to do this!!!
Check out this site and here if you want to know more :) I doubt your local pet store has them...
And to help you recover from that, here are some more pink, but far more beautiful, photos.
The lovely Phoebe turned five months old a fortnight ago, so she is more mobile, in fact almost crawling, and using her door bouncer...
Check out the action - Left to right on each row ...
She is also sitting in her high chair and eating solids....but you will have to wait for me to get the pictures of that off my phone... yes - I forgot to take the camera this weekend :(
On Friday, it is graduation for last years vet nursing classes... time to haul out the trencher with tassels, the Imperial Purple veterinary degree hood and flowing black gown again. I have never quite figured out why the Veterinary hood has white fur trim; real fur too! Seems wrong somehow...
But looking forward to the day :)
