Mr Nibbles Diary

- Start date
The Bucatstate seems to have arrived at the German customs so in a few days I expect it will arrive 
I ordered a niteangel platform for the wheel, they are rather expensive but the only ones I found that have a ridge around them. Nibbles has the habit of scooting on to his wheel and I feel that will be safer. He has managed to move the wheel around in his playpen through his scooting actions
I also orders niteangel cork substrate and then thought I should have asked here if it is suitable. But I can still send it back if not. He only uses his small sand bath ball, so I thought to put the cork in the larger bowl as many claim their hamsters love it.
He has grown so much the sand bath ball is not really that big, but somehow he loves it
I hope he will enjoy the Bucatstate, he will definitely have more room in there

I'd start taking some multi vitamins now before it arrives, then you'll have the energy to put it togetherThe Bucatstate seems to have arrived at the German customs so in a few days I expect it will arrive

I like the Bucatstate enclosures really pleased with mine and the niteangle brand is good I've got a few bits of theirs 
I'm sure. Nibbles will love it 
NessThanks NessI'd start taking some multi vitamins now before it arrives, then you'll have the energy to put it together

I just drink lots of tea when doing things like that 
. Calms the mind and the caffeine helps!
I’m sure Nibbles will love the Bucatstate - he will notice the extra space as well I’m sure.
If you mean the niteangel cork granules they are fine - I use them. I baked them on a baking tray in the oven

thanks Maz, I was hoping the cork granules are okay, but now I am reassuredI just drink lots of tea when doing things like that

It’s arriving todayI've got cork granules in one of Teddy's sand baths! It's the one where he tends to do all of his grooming every night! I'm sure Nibbles will love it too
I hope it compensates for this terrible heatwave.At our office door the thermometer said 42,9 degrees in the sun
I am at home now and doing everything possible to keep the heat out
it’s 25 degrees in the flat

Oh no no no I really couldn't take that temperature, year's ago dad and I used to find a rock and bake! Just can't take it anymore. I hope the flat stays better for you and nibblesIt’s arriving today

NessI can’t take it either, I feel sickOh no no no I really couldn't take that temperature, year's ago dad and I used to find a rock and bake! Just can't take it anymore. I hope the flat stays better for you and nibbles
That’s another reason I don’t like Germany
Nibbles has been up for his broccoli 
The little ice packs under his cage are really keeping him cool. The stand ventilator with ice cubes in it is really helping I have ordered another one in miniature also with ice cube cooling to put in the kitchen for Nibbles (the big one is in the front room and blows air also into the kitchen, but it’s not powerful enough to keep both rooms cool.
This thing has been a game changer
I have put both parasols up all day and poured cold water on the balcony floor. That helped but dryed up real fast
I have been able to keep 23 degrees and that is with outside temperature of 29-30.
I am going to drink a cold shandy now, it’s standing in the fridge next to Nibbles sand bath
If only he knew what a faff I have been doing to keep him comfortable.
One day down, I pray it’s over soon

I’m slightly envious of the hot sunny days but maybe not those temperatures! I suppose Germany is mostly in land so no sea breezes.
forest. Believe me, this is nothing to envy 
it’s awful, you just feel sick all day if you are out

London is joining Germany next week 
I'm on holiday next week, so I can keep an eye on the piggies as they don't enjoy the heat, like most furry animals. I'll be doing the ice run
and stoking up the fan reservoir

I have just eaten a small salad and had a cold shower. I am not sure if Nibbles will want to come out tonight. Maybe a run in the kitchen in the cool tiles
I hope you and the piggies don’t get too warm. Sending big hugs to you all.
From me too aunty
I am warm
