Tess: Some good moves, some bad moves

Lots of moving around in the past couple of days. Muhungu moved from Amissi two days ago but moved back because he was crying, then the two, Baheni and Kama moved back to the Goma group. Kenya under the weather so her and Kamituga moved. Beiga moved back to her own group. And we got a tortoise.
We were supposed to move the gentle monkeys to a different cage as theirs was breaking. One is a bit aggressive so needed anaesthetizing. Donkey brain here gave them food in the morning so we had to wait till the next day to move them. And what happens? One of the buggers got out! Thankfully the one who is blind in one eye so he hung around the place.
And there was power so the door could be fixed! The last thing we needed was a chimpanzee escape, chasing the monkey round the sanctuary!
We found out the Muhungu, Amissi and Kenya all have malaria. Muhungu seems to be all better and Kenya not too bad, but Amissi is definitely getting worse. And it’s not looking good. Balume stayed with him all night last night, giving him paracetamol for his high temperature. I asked the stars to look after him, and they did, at least for one night.
