So I learnt something interesting tonight while checking temperatures in everyone’s habitats…………..

The tiniest, greenest cat in existence.

Laser enrichment has been shown to work with many animals, even fish!

Any animal with interest in chasing small, moving things can potentially be entertained by a laser pointer. Fish, definitely, as long as you’re careful not to shine it on their eyelid-less eyeballs. Also, dart frogs will go nuts and bomp into each other chasing after one. 

toadschooled:

Most frogs have a tadpole stage that is indistinguishable from other tadpoles of different species, so its always neat when you can look at a tadpole and immediately tell which species they belong to. This specimen is a young Budgett’s frog [also known as the wide-mouth frog, Lepidobatrachus laevis] and in typical Budgett’s fashion the first thing it does when encountering something unusual [in this case its owner’s fingers] is try to eat it.
