Yea, I didn't recognize them as a supplier I've seen on this site. I mentioned their name on purpose! Anything I should know before it arrives?? I did call and talk to someone on the phone who seemed knowledgable and when I emailed them with more questions, they did reply quickly. I figured I'd be taking a chance on what species it is, but I'm actually getting used to that! It will be arriving tomorrow morning by 10:30 a.m. I will take pics and post right away so we can try and figure out what it is! Also, it's being shipped overnight so I hope that helps keep it in good shape. We will see what happens...
It's nice to meet you sirreal and thanks for the great offer to help!! I will definitely be in touch with you for our next one! We have now started marking on our world map where different octopus species come from! We are also comparing their size, looks, etc... It's pretty cool how much the kids really love the octopuses!! I do think we have some future marine biologists here!!
Also, D, I have to thank you again for Diego! Originally we were going to try and preserve Ziggy. Since you offered Diego, we were able to have a "funeral" for Ziggy. Well, 3 days ago one of my 4 year old little girl's grandpa died. When her mom started to explain to her what a funeral was, the little girl replied "I've been to a funeral mom, remember, Ziggy's! I even got to put his box in the hole!" The mom was so appreciative that her daughter had been introduced to this concept! Just wanted to share because you get credit too!
Thanks for help and comments! We will see what tomorrow brings!
