Quick hello from Spaulding, Brazilian three-banded armadillo 🤗
Spaulding adores exploring new places, digging, crunchy snacks like super worms & shoes. Yup, this ball of energy loves to sniff, climb, claw at & rub on shoes!
Thanks for making our days brighter, Spaulding ❤️

#ThrowbackThursday to tiny Quilbur!
Quilbur the North American porcupine’s favourite foods are sweet potato and corn on the cob
As a rodent, Quilbur also enjoys gnawing on bark which helps keep his ever-growing teeth nicely filed and in check
