...but we have a fence.
Oh and the first little blue has arrived (he he - ok it is really Xaria)
Once the fence is completely finished then the search will begin for Little Blue's. The aquarium has started it's first week back with summer hours and has had lots of visitors, no doubt enjoying all the new additions. The Giant Weta are doing really well in their new home and you can generally see at least two sleeping in their burrows. We are hoping to get some "video surveillance" of their night time activities - I am looking forward to seeing what they get up to!!
The tuatara are out on display everyday, and have been hanging out on the top of their punga log. They have also been keeping Regan, Tessa and Mike busy with new burrow detection. In captivity they are not allowed to make burrows themselves, just in case they collapse on top of them so whenever a new burrow is discovered it has to be filled in - I know all that hard work down the drain but it is for their safety and with their low population numbers it is important to look after each and every one!!
You can also tell summer is fast approaching as all the fish are getting hungry, the feeding frenzy at feed time (2pm everyday) is definitely increasing. The eagle ray has also been showing off lots lately too!!
Their are also some great movies on this week - The Secret of Moonacre is fantastic for kids with lots of adventure. I also got a sneak preview of Faintheart which is starting very soon - very amusing!!!
