Toby

Cute picture of Toby, perhaps he’s thinking winter is here, it’s time for a hat.

Very cute

Great sense of style Toby, suits you!

I gave Toby some grass seeds in a plastic lid, and after he had eaten them he decided to turn the lid upside down and wear it like a hat! View attachment 5712

That is one of the best hamster pics ever <3

Toby's cage is pretty much sorted. I expect I'll find some small things to fill gaps here and there.

The Getzoo house in the middle has been painted with a clear sealant. I'm still debating whether to paint the elephant. The ceramic egg at the front is something I found in Hobbycraft today and I plan to paint it green or blue at some point.

The hedgehog at the back I'm rather fond of. I "rescued" it from the Asda sale the same day I brought Toby home. It has a chipped ear, so it was only 50p. It's a tealight holder really.

That looks great

I like the way you’ve used the space . The hedgehog is adorable.

That does look really nice, Toby must be loving it.
I agree the hedgehog is so adorable!

Enclosure looks great! Really cosy. Toby must be loving all the places to explore and hide out.

 

[ilguy]

Agreed, excellent use of the space! Lots to hide in, like that most of the spots are on the sides. They just love their corners!

A lovely home for Toby

I was having breakfast this morning when I heard a strange rustling noise coming from Toby's cage, like a plastic bag. I thought maybe I'd left a bag of something on top of the cage and he was trying to pull it through the bars. I went over to the cage, and no, he was actually on top of his cage, stuffing his cheeks in a bag of sprays. At first I was baffled how he could have got out but then I realised I had hooked one side of the door over only one bar. It's a silly mistake as I've known for ages that those cages need to have the door hooked over two bars. I can't think how I missed that, but at least Toby is safe thanks to his greed.



Here he is demonstrating how he escaped. I just love the look on his face when he realises I'm there.

His cage really isn't big for him anymore so he's going to be getting a bigger one very soon.

It’s very easily done I know, had to laugh though, Toby really made the most of the opportunity!
He’s looking so condient now, I’m sure he’ll really enjoy a larger cage, which one are you thinking of?

 

[Maz]

Cheeky monkey! The sprays on top maybe tempted him! Or maybe he just took the opportunity because it was there!

It must have been a surprise to see him on top of the cage!

I'm planning to get a 100cm Bucatstate.

Probably a bit of both

Love the way he backs out as soon as he is caught in the act

 

[Maz]

Lucky Toby No bars on a Bucatstate either

Yes, that's a bonus as he does monkey bar a lot. He might still be able to climb a bit on the lid which has some metal gaps. I need to double check the one I already have for the gerbils that he won't be able to squeeze through any of the gaps but it will probably be okay.

Thank goodness you were there! You must have got such a fright. He is going to love his new cage.
