Being Bert

[gsm11]

It’s been nearly 3 weeks since Mum and Dad took me and Ernie home from that strange and lonely place (P@H).

We tried our best to escape the cardboard box on the way home in the noisy metal tin with black rubber things in each corner, Ernie and I chewed as quick as we could but before we could get out we were in our new home. I was dead scared when we first went in, all these new smells, things to look at and all that space.

Ernie wasn’t bothered at all, it took my a few days to even want to come out of our little house but when I did woohoo I loved our Degu Palace.  There was hay and food and a big wheel and a hammock and shelves and things to chew and water and everything a little Degu could want.

My favourite things -

Our snuggly little house that Dad made. Mmmmm it’s lovely and warm at night.
Chewing all the nice wood edges in our cage, Dad took so much care making them we thought it best to give them lots of attention with our teeth.
Throwing poops as far out of the cage as we can, Ernie is winning so far he got one of his right near the radiator on the other side of the room.
Breakfast time with Mum, love my little food bowl so much I try to sit in it.
Play time with lots of running around and climbing over Mum and Dad, then trying to nibble things we shouldn’t.

Things I don't like very much -

The noisy monster which sucks up our poops and mess on the floor.
Mum tidying our home, it took me ages to get all that hay in our little house and then she takes it all out and I have to start again.
Strange noises in the house, I just sit there and squeak at them, then Mum or Dad comes in and there is nothing there, oh well at least they pop in to see us.
Ernie stealing my favourite bits of food out of my bowl, he is so bossy.

Anyway laters guys. If I can get Mum’s Ipad I will try to update you all again soon.

Hey peeps

Mum is having a snooze on the sofa, think she has had a busy week at work so I borrowed the Ipad.

Anyways last weekend was a bit strange mum was at work a lot so dad was in charge, dad decided he would feed us as mum normally does it during the week.  So on Saturday mum shows dad what we eat and how much, she was supervising and checking what he did.

On Sunday he lets mum have a lie in and decides he can feed us on his own.  Big mistake he gets our food bowls out ok but when he goes to put them back in Ernie and I are so excited that Ernie bum bounced me out if the cage trying to get to his bowl first!! Plop out on the floor I was, luckily it was only a little way to fall.  Dad is just looking at me while Ernie tucks into his breakfast.

I thinks "freedom" I can run around and have some fun but then my tummy talked to me and I decided that it was best to let dad pick me up so I could have my breakfast.

Dad then tries to tell mum that nothing happened but she knew he was hiding something, don't think he will be allowed to feed us again on his own.

Still loving gnawing all the wood in our cage and mum hid some seeds in our hay Ernie and I spent ages looking for it which was great fun.

Anyways laters I am off to have a run in the wheel unless Ernie is in it running the opposite way I like to run, sometimes it ends up with one off us falling out.
