A pocket hopper! Not as cute as a pronghorn but still an interesting challenge. 8-) Is anyone lugging Rooby about in a sling-pouch or is his pouched hung on a heat source in a humid room? I see you have him nicely lubed.

The article is pretty old, Rooby is covered in a lovely soft fur now :) I think at first they tried a pouch but it wasn't working so they kept her in a large rubbermaid tub with oodles of blankets and warming things. The girl who has her has been quite the busy mom for these last few months! Her only 'break' is when Rooby is in the hospital while she is working, that is when I can sneak in :) Now she is in a hanging pouch with a heat lamp, it is also working very well. I really enjoy watching her hop back into it, she pretty much summersaults in then flips around so her head pokes out.

I will HAVE to remember to take my camera tomorrow. I keep forgetting it at home :( I will try to get shots of all the babies tomorrow

We have these zip-leg pants that convert into shorts and that have like, literally ten pockets on them. Some of the extra pockets are big enough for my camera. 8-)

Those sound like the best pants ever, colour me jealous!

Are you going to Seattle by any chance???

Re: Rooby roooo ungulata November 20 2009, 23:51:05 UTC

Seattle? No, was there a conference or something? A silverback we had, Leo of the Liquids, is in Seattle, hopefully contributing his best for Queen and SSP.

There was the Aazk/Icz conference :)It was fantastic! I may have seen your silverback, they had a day trip to Woodland Park.

Re: Rooby roooo ungulata November 21 2009, 23:08:29 UTC

Woodland is a very nice zoo. 8-) As far as I know, no one here is a member of the AAZK, but we do receive the monthly journal.
