Socks: last night Mom got up and we did the playpen together.
Mom: Socks ran on his wheel while I sat and watched and dozed off a bit (3am).
Socks: I got quite fast, especially when Mom was trying to catch me to go back to my cage.
Mom: I'm not sure what Socks did after he was back in his cage as I'm went back to sleep. I hope he did some running on his wheel He is very fast and light on his feet. I feel bad when we miss a night as he pleads so hard to come out.

 

[Maz]

Aw Socks - can't you get up before your Mum goes to bed?!!

 

[Socks Mum]

Socks: I was up last night at our usual meeting time and place
Mom: I looked over and there was Socks. He noticed and came to meerkat at the door. I had the playpen set up (as usual)
Socks: Mom doesn't always get up but Saturday nights are usually good
Socks: When I got to free roam, I would get up earlier.
Mom: ...and spend half the night climbing the bars and biting them.
Socks: Now I am a bit older I am a bit more relaxed. I'm hoping I will get some free roaming time.
Mom: The gin gins' cage is on a stand so as long as I keep a careful eye on things, it should be OK for Socks to run around the room for a while if he wants to. But not at 3am
Socks and Mom:

Mom: I had to do some cleaning...
Socks: Nest jumbling...
Mom: Socks got to free roam
Socks: It was nice, things have changed since I was last out. I was quite tired after about twenty minutes so I sat in my compostable hamster house while Mom cleaned and fiddled with platforms and hatches and things.
Mom: Then Socks pouched some of his veggies and went to bed.

Hello handsome man, great to see you.
He has such lovely colouring now, it's amazing how much he has changed since you first introduced him to us.
Keep eating your veggies little man, they are clearly working for you.

Mom and Socks: Thank you

Socks came out and pouched his food surreptitiously, but then he came out again at about 9pm in quest of adventure
Socks: Mom put the playpen (Songmics partitions) all the way around my cage and I climbed into a seagrass tunnel to come adventuring.
Mom: Socks ran round the playpen and investigated some brown paper bags and tunnels.
Socks: I found a corner that might allow me to escape, but Mom intervened. She tried to teach me to climb a ramp into my cage, but I preferred trying to chew through the corner of the playpen.
Mom: Socks stayed up for a while longer, taking pieces of dry food from me to place in his hoard, going back and forth with each one. It's bedtime now for me, but I'm sure Socks will have a run on his wheel later

 

[Socks Mum]

Mom: at 4am this morning I heard the faint rattle of cage bars
Socks: Come on Mom, it's Saturday. Let's do something together
Mom: I set up the playpen last night
Socks: My Rolly wheel was waiting
Mom:
Socks:

 

[Maz]

He's so cheeky, waking you up at 4am! Sounds like he had a blast though

 

[Socks Mum]

He's a sweetie. He loves his outings and spending time with his human friend

 

[Socks Mum]

Mom: I woke up and looked at Socks' cage. He was sitting in his empty veggies bowl like a little statue gazing into space. I fell asleep but looked again after a short while. Socks was still there, still perfectly still.
Socks: Mom opened the cage door and I hurried across the cage to her.
Mom: I gave Socks a leg up and he climbed out.
Socks: I ran round the playpen a couple of times.
Mom: I turned the wheel a bit and gently patted it. Socks knew what I was suggesting and stopped running around and jumped onto his wheel. Soon his feet were pattering furiously on the wheel.
Socks: I can sense when Moms' attention is elsewhere and I stop running and sit.
Mom: Socks can almost read my mind.

 

[Socks Mum]

Socks: Mom lifts me so I can see out into the shadowy garden. It looks pretty and cold in the moonlight. I soon stop looking and start pacing from hand to hand. Neither of us has much of an attention

 

[Socks Mum]

... An attention span. I love being the centre of attention.

 

[Steve]

It's so nice to hear about Socks' adventures, sounds like he is having a lovely time.

 

[Socks Mum]

He's so sweet, after he has been running on his wheel Socks has little cold paws
