TheRollingRobos by Scottie

Oh so they have baths? I do not know what goes on when they leave this room but that is still not good enough. You are very clever and wise to know this inside information Scottie.
 
Scottie: i live next door to their bathroom and Whiskers always proudly announces when he finally attempts to clean himself.

Both him and Big Nose have something they call a shower. I know because their bathroom is part of our freeroaming area. Most useful thing about a human bathroom is the bin. Everybody hangs out behind the bin. Trouble is, that dirty sod Clive leaves his litter behind and worse, sometimes his poops.

Back to the shower which again, involves water but you are talking crazy, ignorant humans here.
Imagine very heavy rain, a proper downpour no hamster ever wishes to get caught up in.

Now listen to this. Humans stand under this downpour of water in the hope to get clean! They are so deluded it worries me sometimes.

This morning i run too fast to the front of my cage to get my treats and got my paw wet in my water spoon. Imagine to get more than a paw wet. Brrrr.

No Pip, you can't have this spoon. It's mine.
 
Wow, you have so much insider info Scottie. This is most interesting and repulsive to me. Tut tut Clive could use some lessons in being tidy.

So they like to stand in very heavy rain! They really are an odd species. Maybe Pip can train his human to use a sand bath. He seems good at that kind of thing.
 
Scottie here:
We'll see what Pip has to say. Maybe he has trained his human to have a sandbath.

Did you know that young humans use a sandbath? They have a sandbath like we have in a container and call it playsand. I have heard that young humans roll in their sand but are not allowed to bring the sand inside to their nests or beds as they call it.

So, many humans start of as clean humans but then stop cleaning themselves as they grow up.
Some humans have a sandbath once a year (!) and go to a beach for a good roll around.

Big Nose says that she does not like a sandy beach and likes volcanos best. She is one weird human.
 
I do not know any young humans but they sound much better then the old crone I am lumbered with. Older humans are so dirty they cannot bare lovely sand into their bed!

What is a volcano?
 
Dear Santa,

I have been a very good robo this year so I hope you will grant me Christmas wishes for me and my humans.

1. 100 pieces of tofu.
2. Something for tapper to tap as he seems to enjoy tapping.
3. A new home for Busy Body.
4. If number 3 is not possible then a lump of coal for her will do.

From Orko aged 10 months.
 
Hello friends. I have had a bad week. Busy Body thought she could get away with plonking my flax sprays in the middle of my cage. Apparently 'for me to work for them'. I was most unhappy. I did eat one but every night I went to them and just looked at them to make my point. I want every single individual spray trimmed and then placed in straight lines only on the edge of my cage. I see she has finally got the message and has fixed her mistake. Annoyingly, I had to listen to her give a running commentary of everything she was doing while I tried to sleep in my nest. I will investigate tonight and see if it has all been done to my high standards.
 
Hello friends. I am not happy. Not happy at all. Yesterday Tapper did my food and water and he did not ensure my bedding was tidy. There were 3 whole pieces out of place! He claims he did not know he was meant to remove them as Busy Body did not tell him. This will not do. I did not eat my ground flax in protest. I moved it from the centre to the outer bowl so Busy Body would think Tapper did not place it in the centre of the bowl how I like. Hehe. That will teach him.
 
How ya doing, mate? Finley here.

I'm trying to digest what you just said. So, there is such a thing as ground flax? Hmm.
I thought there might be but i'm not getting any. Hmm. Not happy either.

Big Nose gives us flax in the shell! She's constantly on a mission to make everybody's life as difficult as possible, even Whisker's. Whiskers asked for peanuts without the shell and Big Nose told him that peanuts in the shell are more fun! Whiskers reminded her that he was not a hamster.

See what i mean? Those humans are always out to complicate our lives.

Orko, one thing you said i don't really understand. How is it possible for bedding to be out of place? The only place for bedding to be is all over the place.
 
Finley! I have missed you. Oh dear, it sounds like Big Nose is trying to make your life hard. I get ground flax and flax in shells but I only eat those if they are in certain places and they must be cut down to size.

Wow, Big Nose even tries to make Whiskers life difficult. Tut tut. That must be the witch in her. I hear they like to cause trouble. You are so right. They do complicate our lives.

Well my bedding is all across my cage but not over. Bedding has to be smoothed down and cannot be on any surfaces. Surely you feel the same way, Finley? Our cage is our sanctuary and must be tidy at all times.
 
Finley here. Hmm, so you're saying that i should brush my bedding off my house roof?
Hmm, yes, that may be a good idea because it gets mixed up with linseed shells, food that gets strewn everywhere when i'm looking for a particular seed, bits of millet and sand i kicked out of my sandbath to see how far i can get it to fly.
Must go and look up what sanctuary means.
 
That is right my friend. Being tidy means you can find your food with ease. My sand used to fly but then Busy Body stuck her nose in and changed everything. :(

A sanctuary means a place you are safe. I found out when I was looking up signs to see if I am being neglected.
 
Hello friends. Busy Body's training is not going well. She got me different mealworms! I took them and hid them in my bedding and the dozy old crone assumed I had eaten them! When will she learn, I hide things when I do not want them? She appears to have realised her mistake and I now have the mealworms I like. (sigh) Training her is so hard.
 
Scottie here: i know what you mean Orko.
Some humans are hard work.

I had to kick my wooden chews about for absolute ages this morning to wake Big Nose up. I was tired and wanted my supper before nest.
 
Scottie here:
friends, i thought i was having a nightmare today.
I was fast asleep in my nest having a wonderful dream of an invasion of the human snatchers until my home started to move. Yes, it moved so i got up to investigate.
And then i saw a monster.

This monstruous nose sniffing round and round the outside of my home. Suddenly it stopped at the right back corner and sniffed at the spot for ages. And then two evil brown eyes appeared and i realized that it was the witch herself. Big Nose. My fate was sealed.

Her huge hands with long sharp claws painted vomit green appeared inside my home and stole my garden green shelf, my orange banded middle tube and my yellow wheel!
I decided not to attack but to wait and see what would happen next.

She put my midnight blue shelf back in and the blue banded tube but she was so slow. Her battery must be running out. I test run my tube while she was still fiddling with it. What a tedious witch. And where was my wheel? I sat there waiting for it for minutes on end until she finally turned up with it. She really tried my patience today.

I demanded compensation for the inconvenience caused and sat on my dinner shelf willing her to go and fetch my dinner at once. I was ready to bite but didn't have to resort to violence this time and ate my double portion of cucumber and gourgette instead.
 
That sounds a very scary experience but you were very brave and firm with Big Nose. Is her vomit green claws the sign she is a witch because Busy Body has vomit yellow claws suddenly and this scares me.

Good for you demanding compensation. It almost sounds like she was afraid of you as she rushed to get your dinner. I think your bite from last time did the trick and Big Nose is afraid of you now.
 
Hello friends. I am having such a terrible time lately. Sometimes Busy Body gives me boiled egg white which is okay but then she gave me scrambled egg which included the yolk! I do not like egg yolk and had to ignore it and not have any treat all night. :(

I know you will think that is bad enough but you will not believe what happened today. She put out broccoli! I have not had broccoli since I first arrived in this awful place and ignored it then so why on earth would she try to make me eat it today? I kept going over to sniff it as I could not quite believe she gave me broccoli. Once I accepted it I kicked it out the way in disgust. Then I found she has given me some sort of puppy treat! I am not a puppy and after sniffing it with disgust I ignored it and will continue to do so. :mad:
