Chipmonks!!

Ranjana has a pet chipmonk, Tinkerbell.

This is lovely Ranjana:



She has raised Tinkerbell since she was just a tiny ball of naked warm pink skin.

Now fully grown (to a MASSIVE 20cm long) Tinkerbell sleeps in half a coconut shell.

She feasts on rice and papaya.

She preens her GT-striped fur.

She decadently reclines in the comfort of her coconut shell when her wild chipmonk brothers and sisters are huddling under leaves and branches to shelter from the tropical monsoon rain.

In the nesting season, Tinkerbell scurries in the night into Ranajana's long flowing thick black hair and hurriedly twirls the hair into a ball with a look in her furiously industrious little eyes as if she has just hit the "all-time-nest-building-material" jackpot. Ranjana is woken with her bum-length hair being yanked skyward, because Tinkerbell is taking it to build the comfiest nest in the corner of the ceiling. Little does Tinkerbell know its still attached to Ranjana's head..

The nesting season is over and to everyone's suprise Tinkerbell got lucky.

Ranjana now awakes in the night literally to the pitter patter of tiny little furry feet. Now there are 3 more little bundles of GT-striped fur to feed (lucky they don't eat much).

They sproing along this security fence with agility and speed:
(see how fast they are..)

They race up poles and tree trunks and leap from branch to branch.




They squeak, loudly.




They are the "Kings of the Hill".


But they aren't always very camoflagued..



Hee hee hee

Peace xx
