Surprise Balls

For Christmas one of my friends gave us a surprise ball. So I made some up for the rats (instead of the plastic toys I put a bit of food in the middle) they tended to chew through each layer rather than gently unwrap them! Anyway from the original ball we were left with long strips of crepe paper so we thought Wheeler would enjoy tidying some of it.

There was one time when he was in the hammock and was pulling the paper streamer in through the bars. When he was nearly at the end, the end of the strip flicked and ended up poking through a different bar. Wheeler thought this was another strip so started to drag it through. There was a priceless moment when he twigged that he was pulling the new bit in but the bit he'd dragged in and folded neatly was unfolding. I swear you could see him mutter a profanity as he turned back to pull the original section.

After such exertion it's time for a nap.

Christmas fun

Cracker (wrapping paper, spare tube, tape and a treat) + rat = fun!
