http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxB8TWD2Sn4 -new video.. a bit of rough play with the PD.
Anyway, thanks everyone! I'm actually not new to exotic pets... most of what I've kept in the past has been weird and unusual exotics. Spud here has actually been one of the EASIEST exotics I've ever kept. That said, he's still far more than some people could handle, but I still have the belief that most people I meet IRL with pets don't even take care of dogs or cats, or even fish properly, so yeah.
My emin's pouched rat when he was alive, now that was a pet who required a LOT of attention and special care. Plus his high intelligence meant he got bored of new stimulation fast, and would begin destructive behavior if his mind wasn't occupied with something else. I'd still love one again someday, lol. best pet ever for me, but it was like having a monkey in a giant rat body, with a crazy sense of smell and scary intelligence. He learned tricks FAST, though, as in within MINUTES he's pick up a new trick.

Awe! They are so cute!
My LPS has some.. But I cant bring myself to supporting them.. They fail at taking care of any of their animals.. From fish, snakes, dogs, cats, rats, Ts, scorpions, ect., ect.,....
Congrats on your PDs...
