They are a riot, and can >>just be playing with you, when they go into 'mock >>battle' mode -- but just a word of caution, re their >>tails. It's not difficult to break a flyer's tail -- >>indeed, while they don't separate quite as easily as >>some 'lizards', the tail is not held to the body with >>very strong sinew. The point of this is, ecologically >>speaking, the flyer can escape from a tail-grasp with >>its life, if not its tail. I don't mean this as a >>condemnation of 'rough' play -- Molly Kule and I often >>played 'Wrestle, wrestle', with me using my hand to >>'tossle' with Molly, and Molly 'mock' biting at my >>fingers -- but remember just how delicately these wee >>bits of wonderment are built -- their bones are very >>light. I only mean it as a reminder. Don't restrain >>the flyer by its tail, as you might easily cause it to >>break (not always away from the body, but held by only >>the skin ...). But by <U>all</u> means, enjoy >>physical play, with Rain. Flyers, unlike some other >>creatures, are really very tactile. They like >>physical touch -- they most often greet one another >>with a kiss; and of course, in group setting, nearly >>always prefer sleeping in a group, rather than >>individually. Many 'solo' flyers also greet their HOF >>with a kiss -- Molly would run up my torso, put both >>forepaws on my cheek, and or lips, and touch me with >>her muzzle. One of my girls, Elizabeth, always grasps >>my finger, and licks it, if I open her nestbox. It's >>always very much like a kiss, not at all like she's >>looking for treats. (And I also don't think it's for >>want of salt, as they have a salt lick in their >>quarters available at all times ...). >> >>Have you had a chance to photograph Rain? We'd love >>to see some photos!!! If your PC 'fears' include >>photo programmes, I can assure you that many, like >>Photobucket, are made for those of us with limited PC >>knowledge. Or, you can contact me, and I'll upload >>any photos you have to a Photobucket account, for you. >> >>Yahoo and MSN also offer free online space, as does >>Kodac and even Walmart! At Wallyworld, in the photo >>department, the employees can help you to upload >>photos, even from 35mm film, etc. >> >> >>>When they get angry, they do the "war dance" and it >is >>>hysterical to watch--especially if they are NOT after >>>you!
