Steve

Adele introduced Steve on her Blog the other day so I thought I`d give him a better introduction, Steve is a Yabbie,

which is actually an Australian crayfish, in the wild they are usually brown but in aquariums can go all sorts of colours. Apparently they can live for up to 10 years and grow up to 30cm long depending on the tank, Steve we got on the day that Steve Irwin died :(. We actually got 2 yabbies Steve and Irwin, but Steve ripped irwins arms off and so we had to seperate them,
but we did find out that they grow their nippers back, this usually happens after he sheds his skin, yes they shed it whole, now if you`re not quick enough to remove it, they will devour the skin, I`m afraid Irwin was a little too traumatised and died shortly after starting to grow back his arms. But we`ve had Steve for a fair while and he will usually rear up at the side of the tank if he see`s you.

So there you have it, He basically eats these little pellets, which appear to be just dried up prawns, a few veggies, but he also is partial to some frozen bloodworm. He gets a pellet every day and a half to 2 days.

This is Kitty just chilling in one of his favoutite spots :
Kitty Wanting to go out :

So Adele picked up her new car today, its very nice, going to give it a thorough going over tomorrow. Went and saw her aunt in Calvary hospital, she has now moved, to be close to the rehabilitation people.

So thats it really, Adele fell asleep in National Treasure so we`re gonna give it another go tonight.
Alright i`m outta here Peace Out. Bye.
