Day 6
Zoie spent most the evening on the perch and then in the hands of my sponsor. the reason for this was that her anklets for some reason had stretched from fitting comfortably to being so loose there where in danger of coming off. I had made snap on anklets out of buffalo leather. Its very think , very strong but seems to change shape and stretch way to easy. Zoie has not bated that much so was surprised by the amount of stretch. Her jessies have stretched by 3/4 inch from being right to being to long. Steve came over with his wife with some chromed leather and we swapped her out for some perm anklets ( Thanks o wise one !). I then fed her up with 40 grams of washed beef heart and put her away. When i weighed her tonight at 6pm she was at 1043. Feel much better for changing her. I also did some work on two hoods, more for practice than anything but the idea is I'm going to get some more leather and see if i can make my own.
