So Boxing Day came, and like usual we were having a ... 'family get together' in the afternoon/evening. And as usual, everyone was rushing about to get everything sorted (and everyone came later than expected..great).
I was getting the Goo Goo's ready also, just their normal routine of Breakfast, Water Change, Fresh hay. It's about 11 or 12, and I take out the their SnuggleSafe Heatpad as Chewy and Mario were huddled together and all puffed up - giving me the 'Can you heat the bed up Mummy???', so off I go to pick it up off of their hammock and to my surprise...
THEY'D MANAGE TO RIP HOLES IN THEIR BELOVED SNUGGLESAFE HEATPAD.
Couldn't believe it myself, so in a rushed effort me and my mum cut up some old dog fleece blanket (never used) and manage to sew it to the inside of the cover (past the fleece and that transparent paperystuff). Stuck it in the Microwave and then give it to the boys, all was well.
I was doing something afterwards and got distracted by one of the boys investigating the now warm heatpad. I continued watching him for about 15 minutes when, before he rolled over like a dog, he bit the Snugglesafe heatpad's fleece cover and pulled it up! then rolled over it to flatten it.
It was none other than that cheeky bugger.. LUIGI.
I figured, as they scent marked it, the fleece has gone all tufty and clumpy, so as Luigi would bite it up and then roll over it - he'd eventually make a hole.
Couldn't believe it when I got it out of the cage, about 4 holes (small, mind you) had appeared since the last time I heated it (which would have been Christmas Day). We've done a patch job for now and are looking to make our own sleeve to fit it rather than having a doubled cover.
