Wow, thanks, great information so hopefully we will be able to keep him/her alive! I had begun feeding him/her tiny pieces of lettuce in the gold fish pond this morning and she is gobbling them up at high speed so I guess she is hungry so will sort out some corn and layer mash for her now. I have included a picture of him/her this time, very cute and already learning to hiss and peck the dogs if they try to get too close! Thanks again for your assistance, really appreciated
