COLD DARK ROOM

[spud's_mum]

All night I have heard all sorts of noises from the cage. Squeak is SOOOOO noisy (hence why I'm up at 4:30 am)
I was woken at 2:00 am too.
Pip and squeak were both wandering around but squeak ,being a noisy little thing, decided to start stomping her feet when she heard me. I think squeak is turbo charged.

That's the joy of keeping nocturnal animals as pets!

I've had many hamsters and 2 gerbils in the past. None of them as noisy as this lil one though

Not managed to find an English copy in Spain or here in Morocco, yet, so may have to order it from Amazon.
Got 20 or so books for Christmas, so plenty to read!

Good job you have those bookcases!!

Sausages and pasta!!!!!
That should help!

I used to find a pea sandwich helped me!

For the folks who wanted to go elk-watching with me.


I should clarify that this is not a totally natural situation. The elk are wild, and come and go as they please, but in this area they are heavily overpopulated, which generates a lot of complaints about them getting into hay barns and fields and such, and a lot of demands for the herds to be culled by special hunts. To keep the peace, the wildlife department maintains several areas where they truck in hay during the part of the year when heavy snow makes grazing difficult in the high country. In this particular canyon, the hay is scattered in long swaths so the elk can "graze" more or less naturally on it. The project has been going on for years, and the elk know which canyons the hay will be in, so when the snow gets deep, they head for those canyons. The one road into the canyon is blocked off at the end during the winter to keep people from taking advantage of the feeding program to poach elk, but you can get in to a point where you can watch elk come and go, and hear them talking to each other.

I love it when they do their little warning dance - maybe not all through the night though!
Perhaps your brother could take turns having them in his room?

Good morning one and all! Hope that everyone is well and that all 'ailments' have disappeared - as quickly as they were self inflicted!

putting hay in with the wood shavings seem to have payed off as the burrows seem to be holding quite well

Good morning and happy Friday-ish (I'm off for the next five days)
Six hours of sleep last night and I only coughed about 300 times.

They're still settling in, I expect.
Hopefully, they'll quieten down in time!

Good job you have those bookcases!!

You can never have too many books or too many bookcases.

Good morning, Lyn!!!!!
Feeling slightly fragile this morning, but much, much better than yesterday.
Student due now, so see you all in a couple of hours.

Good morning, Ed!!!!
Back to work for me today, but only one lesson, so not too bad.
I expect you're disturbing poor Suki with all that coughing!

It doesn't seem to bother her anymore. I've been coughing so long that I should have "six pack abs" by now.

She probably thinks you're barking.
She'll be upset when you stop.
