What a beautiful, simply awesome and amazing creature you are, Aurora! I do believe you just might be the first anteater to be crowned Pet of the Day, and how deserving you are!
I was totally captivated, reading your amazing life story, and your photos had me mesmerized, and smiling from ear to ear! It's heartening knowing that a creature as unique as you, with such special needs, found her way to such a knowledgeable, caring and loving forever home, complete with a furry best friend in Pua! You may not yet return the affection shown you by your caregiver and guardian, but no matter, you are loved unconditionally for just being YOU! That's the best love of all!
Hope you and Pua and your baby are all enjoying a very happy Pet of the Day, sweetheart, being spoiled and pampered to pieces! Sending lots of love your way, precious Aurora, with wishes for many, many more happy years together!

Wow! I read with interest your writeup about Aurora. It must take quite a bit of time to get her food just right. Do the anteaters live in the house? If so, are they housetrained? Just wondering. I've never known anyone with an anteater . Congrats on being POTD!

Thank you. Pua was the first anteater POTD but that was way back in 2007.

Yes they live in the house. They mostly stick to one really large room I've adjusted to meet their needs but we share it. It's the largest room in the house and I'm there if they need me that way.

House trained not really but it's mostly possible. Pua was 98-99% adjusted to going on pee pads before the others came. Only she will sometimes try to pee in another part of the house due to hormones. She's got a real obvious potty stance though and normally only pees the once a day.

The others like to pee their beds though so now Pua pees their beds too. I made their last couple fabric houses out of pee pads and keep a pad under their hammock. Pua doesn't pee her own hammock and the others have been good about that too.

Wow, what an amazing animal! I love her long face and cute ears. Congratulations on being Pet of the Day today!
