Talking Introducing Spartacus.. a triple stack of pancakes!

Today i went and collected Spartacus, my new little pancake... you might have seen him before.....

http://www.shelledwarriors.co.uk/for...ad.php?t=46828

... and boy is he little! he is 10 months younger than the other two but i think he can handle himself. He was climbing and exploring non stop on the journey home, and was not in the slightest bit bothered by me at all, even had some food and a wee (charming). Here he is on the journey home:





Then we got him home and put him in the newly arranged table for three that now looks like this:



And there was us expecting him to scurry off into a hide and go to sleep for a bit. NO not Spartacus... he went straight for the food, had a nosh.. then went and chomped through some seedlings and grass... then he proceeded to investigate every nook and cranny of the table, he went into each of the three hides, the basking area, climbed over stuff, tested the water bowl... shocked! then back for more food and finally now he has snuggled up in a hide for a snooze.. here are a couple of snaps...





all in all... fantastic addition to my stack-o-pancakes. Three is the magic number after all

Spartacus is clearly going to be a right little character! I look forward to seeing more!

oh no! typo haha, Spartacus all the way! lol, all my torts are named after characters in tv shows me and the hubby watch together. so Spartacus from Spartacus: Blood and Sand, Sheldon from the big bang theory and Swarley from how i met your mother (a one off when someone called barney swarley for a whole episode haha)

bit sad.. but it made name choosing easy!

I know what you mean about hubby (who thinks he is a Gladiator himself), I could only buy him if hubby could name him!!!
Just hope mine is actually a boy, too young to tell yet.
