I just gave my girls a hazelnut each and oh my word!!!!!
Running around trying to find a hiding place!
Screeching as soon as you get anywhere near them!
Bickering as soon as they get anywhere near one another!!! They're usually so close.

LOL! I think you just found an irresistable treasure, which means it can be a great training tool for you to use should you need one!! Only thing is, when or if you use it for training, break the shell, and then chop up the nut into tiny bits so that they aren't getting gorged on a high fat treat.
I find the, "DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AT MY NUT" dance and scream fest to be quite comical. I get quite a kick out of it.

I got mine a walnut each last Christmas and all hell broke lose! Madness. I had to take them away (once I found them all  ) and break them myself and dish out little bits. It was hilarious to watch them desperately trying to bury a massive nut, bless! |

OMG mine do this when we give them a whole walnut each in a shell!! Daisy will nibble on hers a bit and then think "I'll do this another time" and go and hide it somewhere, whereas Cleo will NOT let hers go or stop biting the shell until she's broken into it and Daisy cannot go near her whilst she's nibbling the nut or Cleo squeals like crazy!! If we go up to the cage and talk to her she also goes nuts. She's lovely and cheeky but as soon as a nut is involved Cleo is a right b*tch!!
