Apparently so...there were photos of some 'wild' ones taken from the train station platform while they were foraging just within view. I suspect there would be quite a lot also over the Berks area as one or two may have gone missing from Whipsnade in the past Rolling Eyes

yea there are wallabies and they do quite well i think as it is a reasonably similar habitat to their own. only found it out myself the other week. sure is an interesting addition to UK wildlife. There is an area of established tree frogs somewhere around london

that'd be the Eoropean green I'm guessing Hyla arborea They've been around for quite a while now Wink

I just had to drown a colony of Pharoah Ants Monomorium pharaonis that found their way into the shop in some non-fumigated wood! I felt really guilty because the humble ant is one of my favourite insects! Oh, well, it was either them or the shop!

I can obtain cultures for around £80 so I don't think its too bad and the guy I'll get them from supplies a sort of starter of some kind to get them going. Have seen one of his huge all glass tube setups with thousands of the buggers in. Just wondering whether they would make a good food for any herps. (except the massive soldiers of course Wink
