Sex In The Shed

**watson** · 19th August 2008, 01:03 AM

Thanks Toolin'..........I haven't tried feeding or such, and she ducks for cover with heavy footsteps, but whilst pondering stuff in front of the shed fire (ie no foot movement), she'll often crawl over my feet, and doesn't seem too fussed . I had to park the car in a different place for a month, as she found a soft spot outside the shed, and buried herself in the driveway.
Makes the shed a fun place.

Here you go Noel http://www.abc.net.au/schoolstv/animals/ECHIDNAS.htm

how much timber you got laying around maybe have enough to feed the whole family

"The echidna has a long snout. It's very sensitive to touch and it can feel vibrations. It also has a very good sense of smell.
When the echidna smells food like ants or termites it uses the claws on its feet to dig out its dinner.
It sends its long sticky tongue into the nest and flicks it around. The insects stick to the tongue and are then drawn into its tiny little mouth."

This could be to your advantage they'll keep them at bay your own personal pest control

Thank you for posting this.

Sharing it with my family over breakfast was a moment of charm-a great way to start any day.

Absolutely Brilliant Watson!

I've only got spiders and maybe a ghecko somewhere in my shed.

Watson, is your leg pregnant?

**Geoff Dean** · 19th August 2008, 10:46 AM

Q. How do echidnas make love?

A. Very carefully.

Just an update.
This morning, stacks of wood in the shed disturbed, she surfaced about 10:30 am with grass leaves all through her spines.
Haven't seen him. She inspected today's firewood pile with her tongue, made her way through the door and out into the big wide world.
I guess its all over.

For him, anyway.

This has been a great thread Watson, please keep us posted with any developments.
It's great when birds or animals trust you enough to come into your workshop.

What's the difference between an echidna and Parliament house?

An Echidna has all its pricks on the outside!

Thanks Alex, it has been a bit of a revelation for me. And now she is back in a "dig" under the caravan which is the electronic (hide from the world) workshop. With the info that members contributed I've marked dates....checking the gestation period...all that stuff, in case I can witness some "stuff".
So far, my premise is that, if there was a god that created these critters.....he did it on the last day, and may have been partaking of alcohol or some other recreational substance.
I Love my life.

thanks for the thread,

**Christopha** · 20th August 2008, 02:01 PM

This filthy talk should be sent to the bloody orange room! Shame on you Watson, and you such a tubthumping moralist too!
