Gone Again

Went out this morning and Otto was gone again. Some rocks round the base of the raised doorway had been shoved aside and he had started digging a hole. A hole had also been dug on the outside of the door. What I reckon has happened is... he has been trying to dig out, failed, so scaled the fence using his holt roof to stand on. Once out he wanted back in, so started digging at the doorway on the outside before giving up. Looks like the call of the wild is now very strong in Otto.
From now on I will leave his door open and let him come and go as he pleases. No point in trying to keep him in anymore...that would just frustrate him.
I will continue to leave fish out for him and keep a close lookout for when he comes back.
This is what it was all about..rearing a baby otter back to the wild. He may not be completely there yet but he is certainly on his way.

'mon the Otto!!!
