SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!

If you have followed my blog you will have doubtless heard me bemoan the fact that I live in a building that doesn't allow pets, except fish. Well no offence to fish but that just didn't 'do it' for me. I have finally found something or should I say someone who fits the bill perfectly. Meet Winston...


Winston is an Ornate Horned Frog, more commonly referred to as a Pacman Frog because of their enormous mouths and voracious appetites. Winston was obtained for one of our exhibits at the Museum but because he is a non-native species, when the exhibit was over we needed to find him a good home. (Our museum generally focuses on native species). I was more than happy to set him up with a palatial abode and now he lives in the lap of luxury.


I took these photos just after he had eaten his dinner, a baby mouse! Um yummy!!
