We do this for the reason you mentioned to make sure everyone gets fed, but mainly we do it to monitor their health. Often, if a penguin gets sick the symptoms are very subtle, by the time they become obvious it might be too late to provide effective treatment. The earliest indication that something might be wrong is always a decrease in appetite so keeping track of what they eat everyday at each feed is very important.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year to you too!<BR/>MTMock Turtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242519415417461831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31787487.post-18751115654498002372008-01-01T21:33:00.000-08:002008-01-01T21:33:00.000-08:00MT, the penguin feeding video is SO COOL!
