The day started off much the same as the week before, cleaning out one of the enclosures, and then the chicken coops (which was new to me) and chinchilla cages.I was however brutally attacked by Rodney the rooster, who it transpired was hinting that it was time for breakfast! The culprit and my injury (a single peck to the knee) can be seen below:
After our morning break Deborah and I headed down to 'Bunny Town' to clean out the rabbit hutches; a task which isn't usually on my favourites list simply because it takes so long. Today was made much better however due to the baby rabbits who were finally visable.
These gorgeous bundles of fluff are 4 weeks old:
The afternoon was spent feeding the pigs and goats (I discovered that the pig without a name from last week is called Nancy) and doing some general sweeping around the farm section of the zoo.
One final picture to finish off. Please forgive the reflection of the glass but hopefully you'll be able to see it clearly (I hope to try and clean it up a bit). This is one of the lemar enclosures which is situated next to the farm where they currently have two babies. Here is one of them:
That's it for today. Lets hope for sunshine next week!
