I often get asked what Rocky's set up or 'house' looks like. While he has a fabulous tank, set up with all his heating, lights, plants, substrates etc.... he actually lives quite a full life... Outside his enclosure 🤣

He is interacted with daily! He is allowed outdoor time ( and has his own outdoor enclosure he and Deani take turns using).. but lately... Waking a tad early from his brumation... He enjoys his favourite indoor pot plant 🤣

Yes! He climbs up the side. Yes! He chooses to curl up like this and YES 🤣 He sleeps like this 🤣🥹😍

(Deani is still asleep/ in brumation. She pops her head out for a drink, but this is her first brumation so she is still working out what her body is doing)

💚 I'd love to see you there!!
⌚️WED 8 JULY @ 6PM
Earlier this year, a group of fabulous Curious Kids and thier families helped bring a clip in the documentary: On the Edge, to life. They did this by allowing us to see first hand thier nature connection and curiosity. It was such a special experience, and now the documentary is being screened for a second time.

I'm also honoured to be joining the panel discussion after the film to talk about why helping children connect with nature is something I'm so passionate about through Curious Kids.

If you're free, please come along, watch this beautiful documentary, and support the conversation. 🎬🌿

It's so important to stay connected and knowledgeable about all the things living around us. I do it because I LOVE IT! but also so I can answer all the weird and wonderful questions that get thrown my way, with honesty, first hand experience and REAL lived facts 🙏
Thank you to the Ginninderra Catchment Group for sharing your frog knowledge with the community 🙏
