Baheni appeared to be not doing to well, so we moved him out of the Goma group with the other sick ones. Kama also had to be moved with him as they are joined at the hip. Not literally. I have a little soft spot for Baheni so went in to see them a few times during the day. To Kama’s dismay. Everytime the little football belly on legs came running up to give me a hug, the girlfriend was close behind, ready to pull him away. Obedient under the thumb boyfriend obeyed. Then she was satisfied and went about her business, until she saw Baheni creep back for another hug, over she storms and pulls him off! A frequent occurrence during my time in their enclosure!
Thankfully Baheni just appeared to behaving an off day and is doing fine.
The big Goma group is slowly getting small, what with the sick ones moving out and 5 more moved out to a new enclosure. Shege, Irangi, Kenya, Kamituga and Felisita were moved out, leaving the smaller ones in the Goma group. Definitely better for the babies, the two smallest, Alzasse and Muhungu are eating more and being more adventurous now.
Urgent work is needed on a door between two enclosures, the one where Kalume escaped from and into with the big boys. Ultimate chaos will occur if the door is broken. Fingers crossed for power during the day tomorrow so it can be repaired and keep hell out in the hallway!
Biega has got bored of her evening feed and sleeping outside alone and is not playing ball anymore. The only option is for everyone to sleep outside, unfortunately in the worst thunderstorm we have seen yet! But they’re hard little buggers!
