Baby Echidna

[Jillaroo]

The lady next door works for Wires and they have a little baby Echidna who is so tiny, so far he is putting on some weight.

So tiny .. a baby anteater, or from that same family? How big will it grow?

 

[SeaBreeze]

Awww...glad he's plumping up. :love_heart:

Do you have to chew up his ants for him???

Here's some info on the Echidna, and all he has at the moment is milk every third day

I love baby animals. I wish that they could stay that way so you could have them as a pets maybe?

I used to be an animal lover; not so much any more.

Hey basefare. Nice to meet you. Did you have a bad experience with an animal of some sort?

In a manner of speaking. I've owned a couple of dogs. The last one got lung cancer and had to be put down.

I'm sorry to hear that.:concern: We had to put one of our dogs down about 6 months ago. It's never easy.
