Ronnie and the crisp

Ronnie had half a crisp this evening as a treat – he seemed to enjoy it!

Gagging for cucumber

Ronnie and Derek enjoyed having their cucumber tonight!

Training with noises

Ronnie and Derek now associate a ‘clicking’ noise with food, as I’ve always made the noise when feeding them. Even if they’re dozy in their house and I click, they’ll now drag themselves out and over to the cage door as they know they’re going to get food (maybe a treat!). They also come over when I open the plastic boxes I store their food in, as they recognise the noise now.

They’re also now used to the noise of the front door being unlocked, so if they’re in their house when I come in, they’ll pop their heads out to see what’s going on. It’s a welcome sight to come back to!

Derek the Defiant

Derek was in the shell eating some food and Ronnie thought he’d try to steal it, but Derek simply turned round to avoid him, resulting in the scene below. Ronnie tried to get in but failed, so Derek was triumphant and defiant!

Derek enjoying more scratching

Derek definitely enjoys a good scratch. Here he is having some in the recent hot weather.

Pringle Battle

Ronnie and Derek had a bit of a Pringle as a treat. Ronnie had eaten his but Derek was still eating his in the ‘coconut shell’. Ronnie thought he’d try his luck and steal Derek’s, but it didn’t work out.
