Hi again..
Lol getting tired of me yet??lol so day 4! Up early today at 6am(yeh I know a bloody nightmare for me!!). Saturday today which was a bad day to start at but I will talk more about that later on! Got up at 6am.,had a shower,got dressed and we all were down at the zoo entrance to wait on Ili and 8am when we started. First of all we cleaned out all the Marmaset's Cages and swept all the leaves away from the paths and made sure there was no rubbish lying around(clean clean around here you see!!). After all the cleaning was the...feeding!! Yayyy!!
Fed the Marmasets first.We have Reggie and Ronnie,The Famous 5(5 marmasets in one cage duuuhhh!!),Scully(coz of his white hair sticking up!) and Billy No Mates(who is on his own hence the name awwwww). Quite a mixture of fruit and quail eggs all mushed together but they did seem to love it.We the fed the wild cats....No not the lions or tigers these are like pussy cats but they are slightly bigger and fierce looking. We then fed Amy the Lemur who is soooo friendly she loves been stroked and scratched all day long. We then fed the birds and supposed to be the otters but we had word from one of the keepers that they were checking on the otters and found none there!! They had all escaped ahhh!!!big disaster but we have put down food for them so hopefully they will come back.
Went for some breakfast in the cafeteria in the zoo premesis which was nice but I don't know what I had but it was very spicy!! it was ok though I suppose.After breakfast we fed last but no means least Wusabi. She had all different kinds of fruit but we tried to give her the greens first and cabbage but she just kept spitting it out and flinging it on the floor and also flinging it at us so we just gave her the fruit and bread. Went for lunch where???.....Yep Borneo Cafe!! We go there every lunchtime for lunch so you will get fed up me saying it to you all the time!! Came back and did some enrichment excersices with Wuzabi. We got some fruit and wrapped it in bannana leaves and poured some honey over it(she looovvvess honey) and tied it tightly with some string. And while Illi distracted Wuzabi(well tried to anyway), we hung up her fruit parcels around the cage some high some low and some in secret places so that she would need to search for them. It was very fun to watch her look around to try and find all her parcels but I think she found them all in the end.
Finished work at 5,went into town,had a beer,walked around for a bit and then just went home to bed.

Hiya hun
Thanks for letting me know about your blog...duhhh..I'm just your mum after all. Great to hear you're enjoying it so far. Try answering my emails once in a while too or just comment on my own blogsite. What a pair. I'm still on the Gold Coast with Marilyn and Graeme and heading up to the rainforest on Wednesday for 3 days walking. Will be in Melbourne on 24th and back in Sydney on 5th for 5 days. See you on 10th. How is the problem with the leaches? I'm taking some salt with me into the rainforest as it's the same problem there. Apparently they only come off by burning or with salt. Keep the blog going love and I'll also email
