Socks: Mouseworks Dynamic Cardboard Redesign and Basic Tunneling

[Maz]

That really made me laugh seeing the lid popping up and down I think she really liked it! They tend to rummage and bang about inside at first when they're taking ownership. Shame it got condemned, it looked good!

 

[RainbowBrite]

Aw, it looked like Socks was trying to arrange it to suit him.

He has such gorgeous glossy fur by the way!

I got some glue off it on my hands while removing the base and tried to wipe it off with water, but when Socks started chewing that spot I got worried it might not be good for him. Then I cut the bit off and the whole house collapsed so I gave him an egg box instead

 

[RainbowBrite]

Aw, I am sure he will enjoy the egg box. Which glue did you use?

 

[Socks' Mum]

Thank you! He's still not sure if he likes me stroking him, but he has climbed onto my hands a couple of times and eaten treats on my hands and arms

 

[Socks' Mum]

It was glue that was spread on the shoe box, maybe an old label was there

Oh I see what you mean. Good thinking to remove it in case it was a bit sticky.

Socks had his first free roam expedition last night. He seemed fairly together, but I was rather nervous. At the moment the cage is right beside my bed () so I let him go round it with the duvet creating a cave. I picked him up using the nice concertina tube and returned him to his cage and he rushed straight back. Eventually I had to gently stuff a resisting Socks back into his cage so that I could have a break and calm my nerves. But the cardboard-soliciting bar-biting drum kit solo did stop for the night!

 

[Socks' Mum]

I spilt some tea on the carpet a few days ago, so needed to wash the carpet. I was worried about his reaction to the noise - he went in the kitchen in his cage - and I kept checking on him, but I think he slept through it. He came out in the evening when I was cleaning his hamster toilet!

Thats great that Socks enjoyed his first time out on the bed, it can be a bit nerve racking to begin with but it sounds as though it went well & Socks was happy afterwards.

 

[RainbowBrite]

Aw, what made you nervous? Was it the thought he may escape your room? Perhaps if you wait until you get a playpen it will be less nervous for you. I think with hamsters once they free roam they will prefer that to a playpen.

 

[Maz]

It sounds like it went really well . Free roaming can be a bit nerve wracking to begin with and depending on the hamster. I used to struggle to get them back sometimes! Luckily my current Syrian will just walk into a tube if I put it down.

 

[Socks' Mum]

Yes, I may be spoiling him. He is quite a headstrong hamster! I hamster-proofed the room, but I was still worried about him freaking out, but he handled it well and inched around, sniffing his way about rather than running in a panic. A playpen would be easier though, I'll order one today. He's not going to be content to just stay in his cage once he wakes up!
