Counted all 59 today but six had found their way into the next enclosure along from where they should be - the six were quite content together in their own little group.
Mike said it would help if we could identify the slippery six, so I took a few photos, which are attached. The ringleader seemed to be the little guy in the first photo and I see that one of them is my favourite, the one-horned little varmint with the beautiful eyes. Mike advised to leave them there as they were staying together, quite content, and only just on the wrong side of the fence.
I couldn't see where they'd got out, but another two had likely hoped to join the errant six as these two were on the correct side of the fence but staying close by, far from the main group. Like me, these two mustn't have been able to spot the escape route.
All 59 looked very well but one, in the main group, on the other side of the enclosure, had a thorny piece of bramble stuck to his right hind leg and it was clearly causing him some irritation as he was charging about, jumping and shaking his leg, but he didn’t come close enough for me to try to grab the spiky stick off.
Plenty of water in the trough and in the spare container. Still a goodly amount of nuts left in the tub.
