Not much to report!

Been on holiday so not much to report.  I set up 2 cages so that mum who was minding them could simply swap them over.  When we got home they were very subdued but I suppose they got used to the peace and quiet - not this mad house.

Today I put them out in the run and blocked off the top of the ramp to keep them in the run.  Put the others next to them in a seperate run so they could see each other and got on with my day.  About 4 hours later I went out to find them and ARGHHH they had gone!  The block was still there but they were in the hutch, they had pushed the block and sneaked up and it had popped back into place!  The bedroom was very warm as it's a sunny day so I brought the cheeky monkeys back in.  I have to say tonight I saw one of them use the water bottle for the very first time!

At 6.30pm they came out of their house and for the very first time they began foraging for food.  They do still come out when veggies are being prepared - in fact they popcorn and tear about like mad now but this was not that time.  It was just the regular (but clean) cage that they were foraging in so that's another milestone.

I held them both for a cuddle last night, one of them shook very gently and the other was cool as a cucumber.

They eat grapes and tomatoes now on top of everything else and are learning to love green beans

I bought them some sample bags of other dry food (good quality pellets) as they didn't seem to be eating the other one and as soon as I served it they started eating the old one!

I have gone from fleece to hay as bedding and back to fleece again.  Changed as they started burrowing under the fleece then changed back as they started only eating the cheap bedding hay and ignoring the good stuff so now it's fleece pegged at the sides.  

Considering fashioning some kind of a small upstairs sleeping area for them so they have all of downstairs for foraging and running about but that's something I am going to consider....
