My new friends....

True to form I had a bit of an urge for something unusual last week...I bought myself a little frog, as cute as a button and not really much bigger. I got the little tank with the lid on, a pump, everything I needed and went off to get the new addition. All went well for a couple of days until I found him belly up in the bottom of the tank. The pet shop didnt tell me the poor little thing needed an tank heater so he basically died of cold. Off he went to the big froggy pond in the sky. Stage two, heater installed, back to the pet shop. They had no frogs so I went for a mooch round. In a tank was some newts, Chinese Fire Bellied, so cute they were....so I bought one and called him Norman. Upto yet hes doing just fine, hes feeding and swimming around with two Guppies, stuffing himself silly with bloodworm and daphnia. Today I went to have a look for a bigger tank for him and while the man was getting the tank I had another mooch, there at the back was another newt, all on his own like my Norman...needless to say Norman now has a friend lol. Normans friend is called Albert and hes alot more active. There nicely settled in to their bigger tank with a nice bit of driftwood to sit on when they dont want to be in the water. Fingers crossed these two wont be going to join the frog. Photos will be along at some point, when I get round to it. :o)
