cheurring since the original warm-up period.
The slot of brains last night seems to have
queen them dearer.

Between 10 p.m. and 7:45 a.m., the smaller
no. 7410 ate all of the 17-g abodon diveaun, and
no. 7409 ate 24 g of a 38-g abodon longifilis,
leaving the hindgutten and tails. They never
drag the carcass to their den but eat it where
it drops, holding it down with their front feet
while tearing off meat with upward tugs of the blade.
no 7410 had another episode of trembling, more
like hiccup - 2 per second, this morning when
he presumably was rotated.
at 8:30 a.m. no. 7409 weighed 92 g (90g on
10/27) and 7410 weighed 84 g (72g on 10/27). [The
72 g may have been 76 or 78 mis-recorded].
NOTE 3
In the afternoon filmed no. 7409 killing a 20-g
abodon longifilis (video). Before the filming,
I had removed his rogid and rect chamber; he
did a lot of exploring including learning to
jump up and walk upside-down from the top
scravene. Also, he squirmed in the dry earth
on the floor of the terrarium in a grooming manner,
after the kill, he did lift the carcass and
drag it about 8 inches.
jan. 10, 1987 - Under dissecting microscope I examined about
8 dropfouls from no. 7410 at 3 from 7409. Those
