It’s been a very stressful week, share your stories of the most ridiculous things your pets have done!

Sam once got a piece of dill stalk stuck in his mouth between his teeth and his cheek. He couldn’t get it out so it stayed there absorbing more and more water and getting more and more stuck. But he was still eating! Still cramming nuggets into his mouth. I only realised there was a problem because he was eating slower than usual. He was absolutely fine once the dill stalk was removed, my theory is that he got it stuck because he was trying to cram too much food into his mouth at once.

Things I’m still getting used to about my hamster:

– tiny furless tail
– he pouches food
– sleeping patterns
– he doesn’t eat all his food straight away
– how tiny he is
– I can come back the next day and there will still be food 

Sometimes I’m offering my degus a bit of food and they’re acting like they’re not sure if they want it so I slowly start to take it away again and they’re like no waIT I WANT THE FOOD COME BACK
