We had a little outing today. I think the fireworks were confusing her, we have had some pretty close. She was up early for her, but she was squeaking. I went to go and speak to her and she came to see me. So I quickly grabbed some baby food, as I thought that might help, but she started trying to climb out of the door, which is not easy for her now. So I offered her the taxi. I wasn't sure it was a good idea, but she seemed eager. We went to the playpen, I left the light off and made sure the window was covered. She seemed okay pottering about, she seemed liked she wanted strokes. She looked at her carrot house that she used to climb on, but realised she wasn't sure she would manage it, so I turned it on its side, she really liked that. I even managed to weigh her and she has put weight back on.

It sounds like she wanted some comfort and your presence 
That was a good idea turning the carrot cottage on its side. I wonder if it was the fireworks. Lovely she wanted strokes Also good news she's put her weight back on.

I'm not sure if she was letting me know that she wasn't a fan of the fireworks and was a bit grumpy that they had woken her, or if she thought well now I'm up, I might as well come for a play, there's bound to be an treats involved
It might even have been a little reassurance, whatever the reason, lovely to see her and she seemed happier when she got back home.
The carrot house was funny, she was like a kid in a sweetshop, some bits fell off and she had access to it as well, so didn't know where to start

Aw that sounds lovely - it must have made her really happy Those carrot houses are so good for out of cage time. Most of mine have enjoyed scratching hay off the inside and nibbling the top. Strangely though I've found they tend to get ignored if they're inside the cage. I suppose they have other things in a cage and out of the cage it appeals to foraging instincts (and a place to hide).
