New pets!

We got a few new pets as gifts for Buddy's birthday! They have been fun to watch. With all of these snow days, we have had plenty of time to play with them. It looks like we will be getting more snow days tomorrow and possibly Wednesday.

This is Jayhawk, since he is in the basketball shell.  He loves to come out and walk around.  He crawls on your hand, and he like to climb the plastic tree in their cage.

We had a small plastic cage, but we bought them a bigger glass tank for more room.  We put up a backing that they can climb, and Sponge Bob was the first to try it out.  You can see him half way up the wall in this picture.  They seem to enjoy the bigger tank, and it is easier to get them in and out of.  The extra shells you see are ones for them to move into as they grow.  Sponge Bob used to be named Captain, when he was in the pirate shell.
