      You're just trying to make us all insanely jealous now :p

      Heehee! :D

      I've kept it minimal with the offshow pictures out of courtesy to the Terrarium - but I thought a few people might be interested enough for it to be worth sharing a close-up of each of the three 'stars' as we weren't specifically asked to refrain from posting.

      There was a meerkat in this room too, notable only because it kept going for my knees while I was trying to photograph the squirrel!

      Interestingly, I'd never seen a single flying squirrel in my life before this trip - then we saw three species in one trip!

      Oh, I'm very glad you did share these photos :p

      What were the other two flying squirrel species, incidentally?

      European Flying Squirrel (Pteromys volans) at Chomutov and Southern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys volans) at Pilsen. :)

      Nice :) currently I am in the no-flying-squirrels boat myself. Sounds like on top of my planned visit sometime to the Low Countries (ie Netherlands and Belgium), visit to Berlin and visit to Parc Des Felins, I need to add a Czech visit!
