Rudolf, my Terrarium Terrorist, hatched who knows when, went to the Other Side with a bang 15.7.2015. Here's a little song I wrote for him. (To the tune of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer") Rudolf, the black eyed land snail Had a very broken shell But if you ever saw him, You would say he fixed it well Some of his fellow land snails Lived with him behind a school Ask me 'bout this Rudolf I never knew a snail so cool See, one sunny summer eve My man saw him and said, "Rudolf, you stand out, all right Won't you be our snail tonight?" Then for a year we loved him, As he terrorised his tank Rudolf, you black eyed land snail When you died, my heart sank.(c) 16.7.2015 Etana

Ahy they sure can get into your heart and stay there.
I have one little chick at the moment who is a bit behind the others by a few days and has had a few problems. Who's fast become my little buddy even got the name Tiddler. Fingers crossed what I did saved its life but man I really have a soft spot for that little one.
Its made worse by the fact that the chicks also decided even though its in the brooder with its 2 siblings I'm the one it wants to be with and everytime it see's me it comes running and shouts until I pick it up and carry it with me. When I'm relaxed on my bed watching tv or on the internet it comes n cuddles up under my chin to brood lol.
Thankfully some peas n sweetcorn is a great way to keep it and its sibblings occupied for a bit as they love hunting for it and when one finds a peice they pick it up and run ariound with it in there beak shouting there head off with the others chaseing it.
I thought at first that the older ones were pinching Tiddlers goodies until I realized its a game that they play and they all steal each others bits lol. They sure do amuse me with there antic's.

Thanks everyone. I've put his unique little shell next to Ewert's shell in a flower pot. I'll never forget you, you hilarious little Terrorist.
