After quite a long absence, Andrew the Vervet monkey made an appearance this morning. He looked rather skinny and hasn’t grown much over the winter. His fur looked patchy and rather thinning over his belly – probably mange or flees. No worries, after a few trips to the kitchen I will have him looking healthy and well fed again. I am so glad that he remembered me. He came bounding up with no fear – just as I remember him. He even let me scratch his little head whilst he sat contentedly munching on a bit of freshly baked bread roll.
