Lilly

[Frida]

First time i managed to get all the pieces into the snuffle box. Took a photo of the tidy playbox as Lilly will rearrange it. Sadly, i'm at work tonight so she'll have to wait till i get home.

Great photo of the before Lilly. I'm now looking forward to seeing the after Lilly photo

She will love that! I wonder if dwarfs enjoy this kind of thing more than Syrians? How do your Syrians react? I can just imagine mine just ignoring it and trying to get out of the box - but then I haven't tried!

Lilly and Clive are the ones who use the playbox every time they're freeroaming.

I think that Lilly makes the biggest mess because she's like a tornado but Clive can dig up a storm as well.

Otto has a calmer approach to things but has ventured into the playbox recently.

That bin cage has a door so they can go in and out themselves.

Oh I remember now - that was a clever idea that bin play box with a door.

Lilly is very sedate tonight. That will change by the morning though. She's munching a sesame stick elusive mentioned on here.

They’re very crunchy aren’t they! Lovely to see her enjoying that.

The dig boxes still look tidy!

Eddie and Lilly were out late last night so i didn't wake up enough to let Lilly out this morning.
I remember hearing her but was too tired to get up and went back to sleep.
Lilly is not a hamster who goes on and on. If no one lets her out, she goes to bed herself.

They all like those crunchy sesame sticks and the crocks.

It is good you had a lie-in after your late night. They kept you very busy.

Lilly’s quite self sufficient when she needs to be then bless her, nice you got to have a bit of a sleep in.
Good to hear they’re enjoying the sesame sticks.

I just quietly took Lilly's tube out to enrich it thinking she was asleep but she came running out of nowhere! Of course she looked for her tube which i had so i offered her the taxi. She came out to forage in the playbox and then came looking for me with full pouches wanting to go home.

This 4 seed mix from Aldi is handy. Pumpkin, sunflower, golden linseed and hemp seeds. Inexpensive as well.

That looks brilliant and Lilly will love it.

I wanted to add seeds to Orkos tunnel today and knew he would realise it was missing some how so I have decorated a different tunnel and hopefully he will accept it.

I also love these cardboard seed treat ideas!

I brought Albert a bag of that the other week.

How much water and flour do I need to mix together?

 

[Member ID2]

I use a level table spoon and enough water to make a smooth paste.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to give it a go sometime this week.

Lilly's treat lasted about three minutes!
She's currently balancing on top of the tube checking that she didn't miss any seeds.

Lilly looked like she really enjoyed that. I think you may need to give her a more challenging treat.

She's enjoying that! You mean she ate ALL the seeds?!
