RIP Aeon and Pilot

What a pants week :(

Intros

Currently doing intros with the girls...Wednesday is still small but I like to have them introed in sooner rather than later. It seems to be going quite well, there is the usual baby overreacting but they have been snuggled up sleeping. There is also tension from Aeon, same as last time so I think she may need a day alone to let the group bond so that she accepts them. That strategy worked well last time. Want to wash the cage stuff first then hopefully they will go in nicely.

Piccy time

New Substrate

Trying out a new substrate (Allbed), I'm liking it so far though I think that it will be used up quicker than the card square bales. The girls only need the dirty corner and the litter tray cleaning out but the boys wee for England :o It hoovers up a dream though , Sooooo much easier than cleaning up card squares :D

Also I have been doing more bonding with Oreo, she bruxes her head off for me. And there have been no more escape attempts from Aeon either lol

I also realised that rats are possibly the only animals that would fill a lovely fleecy hammock with cardboard :\

I did not expect that...

When feeding the rats earlier, I was more than a little suprised to find Aeon on the top of the cage. I cannot work out how she could of escaped from the cage so all I can think of is that she snook out onto the top when I was feeding them yesterday!!!!!

Jinx used to like to play hide and seek, I'm guessing that Aeon decided to do this too. However I didnt look for her (Due to not knowing I was meant to be playing!!!!lol) She was certainly waiting to go back in when I went over.

Anyway I put her back and shes still in the cage so I'm hoping it was just her slipping out. Poor thing out alone for a whole day :o shall have to keep a really close eye on her in future, make sure she doesnt pull the same stunt again.

One thing did make me laugh though, when I put the light on, I noticed that the lightshade was tilted, she had obviously been exploring in it. Just very glad that she wasn't in there when I put the light on.

I bet shes calling me all names under the sun for not finding her haha

Awwwww

I went over to spend time with the girls today, and Aeon was in the top of the explorer. I sat next to the cage and opened the bottom and she came running down to me <3

I like to think it was me she came to see but alas I suspect that it was the hope of yoggies, which she got. Mocha still wouldn't come out, I hope she comes out soon while I'm there. The cage change about has made her nervous :(

Pink and Rave also came over for yoggies, sadly they both don't have the word gentle in their vocabulary and nearly took my fingers off!

The hairless boys amused me today, they seemed to be working in tandem. They were all asleep together, then one had a drink so they all went.
