[sandragonfly]

oh my, I could see her smiling all the way! really adorable and inspiring. WELCOME PUA!!

I used to take care of my sloth, benji at the ZOO - he's the most slow animal I've ever met and it was amazing how they (sloths) live.. does puapua sleeps a lot during the day?

tray, she's a three-toed sloth.

Actually, Gina, she is an anteater.

There is another long thread about her with many questions answered. I will have to find it for you.

oh wow .. oops. I swear she looks a lot (almost to exact) like benji! I just went back again into more pictures of her, and I now could see she's an anteater in the last picture...much more bigger. sorry about that! thanks gini.

I'll have to read two other long threads about her, she looks so interesting!

again, Welcome to Pet Talk, Pua!

And I forgot to say how special it is to have brand new photos of Pua.

I don't think that I can get enough of her - she is so beautiful. She likes her hands rubbed - that is just too much.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know what Pua was. I know one thing about her, and that is she is one beautiful animal!

She's about the same size as a sloth I think. She stays about 9-10 pounds. She's a tamandua so a smaller anteater than the Giant. But they are close relations of sloths.

She does sleep a lot. She used to be up a lot more during the day when I first got her but as she settled in she settled to mostly sleeping all day and waking in the evenings to eat and play.

As for being creepy I had a couple people say this one reminded them of creatures from their childhood nightmares, lol


That would be a good caption GreayhoundGirl just stick a bowl in her hands

Yep, her liking her hands rubbed was one of the first things I learned about her. She usualy likes her hands rubbed as she goes to sleep at night then curles up around my hand. She usualy settles in when I do since I stay up late then is just up and down a couple times to eat.

Thanks for all the comments

Last ngiht she was standing up and had one foot on her food box and grabbed the camera then she fell and the whole thing toppled over on top of her. I set the camera down to go inspect the mess and her head was covered in baby milk powder and her butt covered in her gruel, lol. She wasn't phased and was headed back for my bed so wrapped her up in a towled and off the the bath to be hosed off. I only thought about a pic then but already had her wrapped up and wasn't going to let her go again.

She was not thrilled to say the least but when I was done she stayed in the tub and played with the shower drain. But that didn't last long because she started flicking her tongue down the drain and getting soapy bubbles at the mouth. Ew. So towled off and back to my room where she groomed herself out.
