Aurora

[Karen]

She was born in captivity as a pet, so would have no clue what to do in the wild!

[TamanduaGirl]

She was not rescued from the wild but part of the agreement in taking her was not publicizing the exact details. The Federal Government was involved in her placement. My friend was able to trace her back to a breeder through her contacts but I don't know if she was born there. The breeder was mislead by the buyer and was glad to find out she wound up here. She had given birth at least once before.

She's in the USA, she could go into hypothermia on a chilly summer night here. They don't regulate their body temperature well and while we have ants there aren't near as many. I doubt she and her baby would have even survived being sent all the way back to Guyana to be placed in her natural environment.

And I don't think she would survive long in the wild. She has some issues and I meant it about her not being bright. She can't even figure out how to eat ants from a cup. The others are very smart. She doesn't see so well either.

Okay since most questions were directed at Aurora maybe she should answer

Thank you. Pua informed me I am of royal lineage so I try to act like it.

I don't dig for ants in the house but we do get old logs to claw up and sometimes we find ants or bugs in them. I will claw at the wall if my food isn't just right. My servant finally got it right though by putting my soup in chiller bowls that keep it cold several hours for me. I enjoy running around in the yard but haven't found any ants. Pua goes for long hikes in the woods and Ori's been to the park and working her way up to the woods. I'm afraid I wouldn't like that since I don't enjoy all the handling that would go along with the trip there and back.

I get a soup mix of what Pua eats. It's ground beef, beef heart, silkworm pupae, wheat bran, spinach, nutritional yeast, and molasses. Then mine is soaked in vinegar for at least a day so the meat fibers break down so it's safe to blend it all into a soup. I wont even acknowledge it as food though unless it's ice cold. We also need vinegar to replace the acid in ants and termites. We don't have stomach acid. Pua drinks her vinegar instead.

Yes I know Pua. I missed her last night because she was sleeping in. I tried to get in the washer with her. I stood on the lid, got it part way open but then when I got my front in it would close on me before I could get my rear in and off the lid. So I finally gave up. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong.
