So today was to be a super exciting day. I have been preparing for two new additions to the family today and have been setting up cages and getting things just perfect for them.
We were to get a baby male BB Ambilobe from the Kammers as well as Gargamel a male 13 mo. old Blue Ambanja that many of you know from a member on the board.
The baby arrived yesterday like clock work at my office before 9am and even though I had to leave him in his cup till I got home from work the Kammers insisted on having him delivered on thursday and that he would be just fine in till the evening (I am SOOO glad for this as you will find out in a min) He looked happy and health and was sleeping all with a curled up tail when I opened the package. Once home I let him crawl out and left him alone till lights out at 7pm. This morning after he had been awake for a good 30 min I offered him some crickets by the end of the day he ate 6 which he started taking from tongs and then 5 baby silk worms a baby horn worm and a baby superworm. All on the first full day in his cage. I am super happy!!! he has been drinking off leaves and the screen and seems happy and super adjusted considering he is young and all he had been though the day before. For dinner he cup fed...no problem!!
Now to the lows...Gargamel who was coming via fedex to my house this morning. The whole day was planned around his arrival and my son spent the morning at the front window waiting for him to come. Well as 11am came and went I called Fedex and had them call the driver to find out where he was...just running a little late be there in less then 30min... again at 12,1, and 2 and the fedex guy found his way to my house at 2:10pm and in AZ it's hot by then and in the back of a box truck it's really hot!!! When he handed me the box it was hot. We opened it to see our worst fears....poor Gargamel had not made the trip alive! I am so sad...mad (at FedEx)...and sorry for my kids, the previous owner, and myself. What a beautiful amazing creature to die so early.
