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! 5 Quote Link to comment

Coral_chef Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Is there an octopus small enough for a 14? Quote Link to comment
Nixperience Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 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. 7 Quote Link to comment
