attacked by ants

I have such a hard time to track down Max each night in the backyard.

He is so small. When he hides under the dry leaves, we just can't find him! Until couple weeks ago, I decide to put leash on him to keep track of his where about. ( see photo )


But he still out-smart me, he rubs his belly on the grass and escape. I give up and allow him to sleep outdoor at night. Thinking, " hey, if I can't find you, maybe the bad guys won't find you either" But one day Kalven found Max's injured leg was attacked by ants, the poor thing's leg is swollen and red. :( Poor Max shuts his eye ( and he only has one good eye ) due to the pain. He goes through so much.

Rinse the ants off his body. We decides to keep him indoor for a while. He still gets to soak in the tub daily and play in his box. Hope he gets stronger soon.
