Mary Austin on Nostr: The little bastard was just sitting there despite his owner calling from the surface. ...

The little bastard was just sitting there despite his owner calling from the surface. (She couldn't go down because she's older and has knee trouble.) I tried throwing treats down in the tunnel, no response. We looked for the other end, hoping to flush him out towards me, but we couldn't find access to the side tunnel.

Then another woman came down with some Churu. ONLY FOR CHURU, he started slowly moving towards us. She held the tube and I managed to scruff him and hand him up to his owner.
