    Please help with my Emperor Penguin

    Can someone please help me, I have a pet emperor penguin (Peter) and since we moved here he seems to be very sluggish and just wants to sleep all day.

    He gets to spend most of the day on the rooftop and we feed him plenty of rice. so what can be causing this?

    I realise that HK may not be the ideal place for a penguin but he's so cute and cuddly!

    If your penguin gets sick and dies from heat related issues and complications make sure you look at other people to blame as you, the cute&cuddly owner would be blameless. My sympathies will always be with you in troubled times. I'll also stand guard and if anyone called you out as irresponsible, I'll bash them for being insensitive in such difficult times.

    Kind of like when people leave their kids in the car with no windows open with 30+ degree weather. Then blame the doctors for not saving their kids from heatstroke.

    cause=effect

    Your Penguin will be happier if he's cold and with other penguins. I think you might look into food storage companies - they have huge freezers - and see if you can send your penguin on playdates in the freezers. Perhaps you can put a ad on Craigslist to see if any other penguin owners in HK can join you for the playdates in the freezers?

    Do you carry water when you walk your penguin?
    One should always wash away the penguin pee eventhough it doesnt make much scientific sense, it will make one feel better.
