After some TLC and a couple of days dry, warm and fed, son of salty seems to be well on it's way to full health again. This mornings breakfast consisted of sardines in sunflower oil, followed by afternoon live worms wood lice , earwigs and the occasional garage spider.
This was very encouraging because it showed he was able to catch small items himself which bodes well when it's time for him to go.
I thought maybe he could do with a wash from the dusty garage, so ran a bath tub for him this sunny afternoon. He was overjoyed and could hardly contain his enthusiasm when I put him into about 4 inches of water.
I was surprised at the amount of dirt that came off him too !
After 10 minutes he decided that was enough and wanted out, so I took him into the sunny garden where he promptly dry preened himself, excuse the pun !
He is currently looking like a spruce goose and is sleeping blissfully on the grass.
