The anteater crew

**TamanduaGirl** · 12-23-2011, 05:14 PM

They are all getting along great now. Pua and Aurora are best friends. Ori is a little weirdo that reminds me of Margarette from Denis the menace or maybe Lucy from Peanuts. She doesn't play with others much and is sometimes appalled at how much the adults around her play. She loves to groom others, is especially obsessed with ears.

Awww, and Merry Christmas to your whole crew, too! Tell Pua not to worry, I am sure Santa will have extra treats for her putting up with that darned flashy box!

It is so good to see your kids again. Merry Christmas to you and many hugs and scritches for the crew.

Thank you.

Just got Pua's Santa photos back too. I regret not taking Ori for a visit too but didn't think of it till late.

They are so darn funny and cute - thanks for sharing the pictures!

Hi everyone, So lovely to have a visit from all of you!

I love the photo,"Ori showing off," really shows how she uses that tail. And the 3 on a mission made me laugh, what a sight to see them coming down the room!

I couldn't watch all of that first vid; every time Ori went to Aurora's ear, it tickled and I was flicking MY ear!

The Christmas vid is lovely, and I enjoyed hearing you talking to them. Of course they ignore you, kids will do what they want, no matter the species, ha haa.

And the last vid of the 2 playing is awesome to see, wow! I'll watch that over and over. And a thought crossed my mind: I manage to get tangled with 2 feet, imagine 4 plus that prehensile tail! I'd be in knots most of my life!

Pua with Santa, wow, bet that was a treat for Santa! Did he ask for a copy of the pic for his album too? I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

Thanks so much for sharing with us. I always enjoy seeing your crew. Oh, and I noticed nice shiny coats in that play time video, very nice.

Wow, anteaters are pretty cute! I didn't know they could be kept as pets! They seem so friendly and playful. They must be a joy to have.

Merry Christmas to you and the crew!

The ant eater crew are fascinating to watch. Thank you for sharing.

Merry Christmas to you & the crew

Thanks.

Ori is still pretty clumsy but she's young still. Though one time Aurora was sitting on the desk and turned then right fell off. Pretty embarrassing for her.

They are a lot of fun they do have drawbacks most people wouldn't find worth it but I do.
