Charlie is still growing! When he arrived on 23 August he weighed 49g and measured 22cm (including his tail). He is currently tipping the scale at 168g and is now 36cm in length. Apparently their average size is in the region of 35-40cm and 150g when fully grown so I recon he's just about there. Here is a photo of him having his bottle. Is he not the cutest little thing - smelly but cute!

Charlie Goes to School
Charlie went to school yesterday for a “show and tell” session. The kids all prepared questions about Charlie and bush babies in general and I had to know my story to answer them all. Luckily Charlie was very well behaved and enjoyed all the attention. The kids had an opportunity to touch his fur and hands/feet. 
We also did Charlie’s weekly weigh-in as part of the activity. He has grown 2cm in length in the past week and is up from 49g last week to 66g this week. Thanks to Joanne, Jane and all the kids for having us. We enjoyed the visit very much.
