Thread: Hector's obsession

The couple of times Shimba got a fish out of the pond,before we managed to get it all covered,he just went off into the pen & sat with it in his mouth,the first time it looks as if he had fished it out but the second one we think lept out during a bit of courting & him picking it up most probaly saved its life because I obviously went out to see what was hanging from his mouth & rescued it,no problem he just dropped it into my hands when asked but I do hate the feel of them so was very happy to get it back into rightful place.Had no problems since pond has been covered but you still see the 2nd rescued one leaping up during the summer but happily drops back where it should,the boys just have fun now sitting on the cover & watching....

My breeder friend has a mat that you lay across where you don't want them to go,apparently it makes one h*** of a din so wouldn't let her test it for me to hear
but it is working very well at stopping her brood from going on the table...
