Meet Lola, the new redfoot to my little "herd," Previous owners were in the Coast Guard and moved around a lot. They said she was generally happiest in this area, so they brought her to the rescue. She's about 5-yrs-old and obviously has some pyramiding. Hopefully, the natural southern sunshine and humidity will help it in years to come.

Lobo, the largest male I rescue last year, is not too sure about his new cagemate, as he sits in the shade.

She gives him the stink-eye as he investigates.

I bring the two smaller ones, Moby and Toby, as well to get some sunshine, too.

Here's a comparison of the two juvies. When I first got Moby (the slightly larger pyramided one), Toby was nearly half his size. Now they're almost the same!

Love the name Lola, that's what one of my Boston Terriers is named. She sure is pretty. Lol at Lobo checking her out.

That scute was dead material, and just barely fastened there. A twig snagged it one day and brought it almost off, and I just picked it off. There was no fresh, exposed flesh/bone tissue under it, just already healed shell, so I wasn't worried about it.

Oh ok, I'm glad nothing bad happened. Your group is really growing, and I'm sure Lobo does enjoy the company :)
