Today is 2 weeks for Gimp! He is eating daily. Swims from one end of the the tank to the other. Has an attitude! If he's by the top of the tank and he knows you've opened the lid to look in he comes up out of the water towards you. I think he is a bimac as his spot reminds me of G2. His missing leg is growing out nicely and is getting some size to it. When he arrived it was very tiny but now seems to be adding bulk.

MMMM, crabs!!! Looks like he is doing great !

Congrats!

Thomas is the same way, he comes to the top of the tank and grabs food from me, and comes right out of the water when he gets ahold of my hand! I think he's intrigued by the way my skin feels to him, he always tries to grab me, even after he's already got the crab or frozen shrimp that I'm feeding him!

Glad to hear Thomas is doing so well! I have never been brave enough to let my octos handle me. Jess was bit accidently while feeding Inklet once, but I tend to panic when they get ahold of me. Don't know why. Gimpy went after my son from the top and he seems aggressive when he is coming out of the water after us. Maybe it's just curiosity as you say, and maybe at some point I will brave it out and let him get ahold of me, but I'm afraid he may not let go and I might panic.

Reminds me of of Men and Mice when you mention it....

Gimpy is really coming out of his shell, sort of speak. He's weriod. When he thinks we're not watching he's out slithering all over the place. And he constantly is swimming from off the side of the tank to the bottom. I put Inks' old green lego in but haven't seen any interaction with it yet. I love the way he freezes when he realizes we have spotted his antics and tries to slither back unnoticed to his shell.

hm...caught in the act by the human, Gimpy slinks back into his shell to wait for the next oppurnity to come out and explore the tank....

Good luck :D
