Yarh! Just got my new baby bluey today! Very excited, Yada Yada.... Finally get to test my wonderful enclosure yes?
Fish tank. Wooden hood, stand, 3ft long. Great.
Basic Contents; 2 Inches of bark, water bowl (which already completely evaporated within 2 hours O.O), food bowl, basking rock, fake log and a patch of fake moss.
Environment; foam background- rock shaped, 3 palm leaf type fern things for shade... big fake vine going across enclosure, fake spray of pink orchid flower.. + 2 umbrella leaves.
Problem 1: Okay, so I have no idea where an entire cup of water Vanished to. I'm guessing it evaporated... in 30degree heat.... no it wasnt spilled, and as far as I know, its not possible for a baby blue who is about 1 inch wide and 3 inches long, to drink an entire cup of water. So where did the water all go?
Problem 2: I grabbed a few basic veg for him, bok choy and some peas and heard a scratching noise on the foam background.... my little one had climbed all the way to the top of the bloody enclosure and was sitting under the glass ledge, on top of the foam, centimeters from escaping!!!
HOW?! O.O As far as I know, they cant climb up vertical surfaces! If they can, the background has to go
I then came back again.. and caught the little genius half way up the umbrella leaves!!!
YARGH! *lol* Gave me the fright of my life!
So Ive moved the leaves up out of his reach and turned them around so theres nothing to get a grip on... jeez
