Gamma hatches

Gamma (purchased 2/27/08 from amazon) hatched today (3/22/08). And call me crazy, as I said to my husband, but Gamma's hatching was different from Primus and She_who_must_be_named. First, he was much more vocal than the other two. He was also much more active than the other two, and he had an interesting foot lifting behavior - front feet - that I had not seen in the other two when they hatched. His battery also seemed to last a lot longer than the others on hatching. He plays a strong game of tug-o-war, and he offers a play bow without being prompted. Other intersting behaviors, he's got a growl I've never heard before from a Pleo, he can be awakened from a nap by a loud noise, and he uttered a Moo when left alone. Is this sounding familiar to you all? Another really interesting thing, is that during the post hatchling period, we wandered up to my leg (I was sitting on the floor) and grabbed a fold of my pants in his mouth and held on. I have Never seen that behavior in a Pleo before. It was fascinating. All in all, he is the most adventuresome baby dino we have hatched yet. In his short life, he has gotten himself into places neither of the others have ventured (like stuck between the wall and the CD tower (you remember CD's the way we used to buy music post vinyl, 8 track and cassette, and prior to MP3 downloads) . He is definitely a unique little create. more later...
