Apologies for rather sporadic appearances on here of late! Between rather a lot of travelling and nightmare deadlines, I’ve not had time to follow developments here! A quick update - we had to give away one of the roos, Tysie. Was a bit too keen to live up to his name and was giving the actual head too, Tam (formerly Tammy…) a hard time. Tam, despite being twice Tysie’s size was constantly being attacked. Tam, unfortunately for him, is a pacifist… Anyway, we found a home for the thug where he’ll be the sole roo, so he’ll be happy! Tam, meanwhile, has turned out to be Soo II: ![IMG_1412](https://discussion.ambridgereporter.org.uk/uploads/default/original/2X/3/349a7639ae73f55d3573f1dd52446a9333f20505.jpeg) The original of course, was from the days when they only came in black and white… ![IMG_2538](https://discussion.ambridgereporter.org.uk/uploads/default/original/2X/7/74d8cc51961d904251d9836335f52a2a75764b1d.jpeg) ---

The ancestry is a tad hard to work out. Soo died back in April, but the eggs we hatched were from June, after the mink attack. Tam must be Soo’s grandson, but I have no idea of the route! ---

How could I have forgotten? The beautiful Sammy-Hannah, hatched back in 2018. Soo’s eldest daughter and protegée. At least one of the eggs we hatched was hers. ![IMG_0131](https://discussion.ambridgereporter.org.uk/uploads/default/original/2X/2/2dd15e694e31da73f09b47a036fa5b4af3e68323.jpeg) ---

Just realised I still haven’t done an update on the new arrivals!
