Blog author 07 Sep 2007 12:19 | My blog random update!thankfully orko hamster has settled in well and has not been eaten up! yay! he's a happy little chappie and i'm so glad we decided to get him and not give up on small furries after the awful things that happened to poor elvis.
fudge continues to do well after her thyroid operation and is keeping the weight on - THANKFULLY! she still seems to hate kenny but we have settled in to the routine of him being shut upstairs during the day while we are out and then having the run of the house when we are at home in the evenings when fudgie is out in the garden. he asks to go outside sometimes, and we take him out there but he never stays out long and soon comes in if we go in! he's such a wuss!! fudgie normally comes in and gets locked in at about 9pm and then kenny is shut back upstairs so fudge and i can have a nice snuggle on the sofa. we will start letting him back in during these periods soon to see if she will cope...hopefully she will. kenny is happy and content as always, bless him!!
the bunnies too seem to be doing well. its so nice now that the weather has dried up for a bit so that they can go out in their run every day. they have plenty of room in their shed when it is wet but it must be nice for them to be on the grass! they seem to be a bit grumpy at the moment - both of them have taken to grunting at me when i go to put them out in the mornings - think the old age is setting in, bless them!
i've been looking after my friend's small furries for the last week - one hamster, 3 gerbils and 2 lovely rats! the hamster has been kept in a cage far too small and i've had words with my friend about improving this situation! so, unable to bear keeping her in this cage while she is staying with my, she's lived exclusively in our hamster run all week! this means that poor orko has not been able to come out at all but his cage is pretty big (its a ferret cage!) so we thought it wouldn't hurt for a week! bitsy (my friend's hammy) has had a whale of a time! she's so fat from having no exercise in her previous cage - poor little thing - she's really made the most of having a wheel and a nice big sandpit to play in! i hope my friend and i don't fall out over it but if she hasn't got a better, bigger cage for her within say, a week, of her getting back from hols i'm going to have to take bitsy from her - just cant' stand the thought of her being in such a small cage!
the gerbils too seem to have had fun, they've had lots of new toys put in their cage and fresh food treats too - their cage is quite a good size so no worries there, but they didn't really have any toys - so i gave them some of orko's that he doesn't really use! hehe
the rats are fab! i really wanted to get rats after elvis died but we just don't have the time to spend with them that they need due to the situation with fudge and kenny still! its a shame though. have really enjoyed going in the spare room and spending time with them. they are such funny, friendly little things! maybe oneday, when fudge and kenny get along better, we could get a pair. i'd like that!! |
