I was at an aquarium the other day that had an octopus!  They'd only had her a couple of weeks and had been basket training her so they could weigh her, and they did that while we were there.  Lowered the basket and she made a beeline for it!  It was funny to see parts of a Mr. Potato Head (they put her food inside it) and a water bottle in there for her to play with lol.  Super cool critters!

I think the 14 may be a little small for those. Would be interesting though.

One time I shucked an oyster on the beach in Mexico and an octopus came out and latched onto my thumb. It was really stuck on me and I had to fling it off and it inked in the water and took off.

Is there an octopus small enough for a 14?

 

Yes I think so.......there is whats called a gulf dwarf octopus. I saw them on a website but like I said octopi are escape artists.................my wife would freak seeing that thing crawling across the floor :lol:
