Mr Nibbles Diary

He found it on the floor. Started looking excited and sniffing it so I shooed him away from it but then needed to get something to pick the slug up in and when I got back he was onto the slug again and having a go at it by the look of it, and when I tried to move him he quickly pouched the whole thing! I then spent over an hour with him on my knee trying to get him to depouch it and it failed and he sat there stubbornly. It was early hours by then so I gave up and put him back in the cage. Next day I checked his hoard and his cage. No slug to be seen! I had expected to find gungy remnants but not a thing! Phoned the vet as was worried about bloodworms and was reassured that these wouldn't likely survive in a hamster digestive system as it was not a familiar environment for them. So I assume he had eaten the whole thing - never found any remnants. And he stayed perfectly well until a good old age.

I hate slugs
 
Currently we have got around 20 blackbirds 🐦‍⬛ living in our area. The problem is they start singing before bedtime 🛏️
It goes on meanwhile until around 10-10.30
Nibbles won’t come out until they have gone, even if I close all the windows they are very loud a repetitive sing (rather annoying if you want to sleep too)
So this means I can’t get him out until around 11 pm
I clean his toilet and try to persuade him to go back at midnight. My alarm goes off at 5.am
I am so tired 😴 even though I have a nap early evenings it’s not the same. He his literally waiting I his house for them to stop singing.
It’s very frustrating 😞

Poor Nibbles, yes hamsters don't always get on with birds. And poor you. Yes, I couldn't deny Socks his play pen time but sleep deprivation is hard. I suppose they will be quiet in winter. To Nibbles they must be very loud. Do they stop after a few weeks?

Thankfully they are starting to stop earlier every evening 🙏 I am finished for tonight and it’s 11.30 🫶 night night and sleep tight everyone 🌺

Yes in a few weeks they will be gone. They are so loud and they have frightened away all the little blue tits and robins 😞 as soon as they shut their beaks he pops out. 😅 I feel sorry that he only gets a short time I his playpen during the week.
 
Autumn is my favourite season 😍
This morning my neighbour was looking for her cat, she said she keeps chasing the birds away 😅 good pussy cat. As long as she doesn’t kill them 😅
Nibbles has an ally, of sorts 🥰🐈🐾 Yes, in about six weeks Autumn will start to come in 🙂🍂🍁
 
The heatwave which was supposed to start this Friday has been corrected 😅 highest temperature will be 27-28.
I told you: as soon as I order an ac, the weather will change 😂
Yes autumn will soon be here 😍 then I will be foraging porcini mushrooms 😍 and blueberries
We have beautiful autumns here.
