The wheel has been somewhat of a hit. The girls love it (not Boggle as she is starting to look her age and just isn't interested) and are in it all the time. They start at around 1:30 am and husband tells me that they are in it when he gets ready for work at 7 am. We decided to do my mother a favor when she looks after them for ten days - not to take the wheel over with the cage. It sounds like a herd of horses and it goes all night. I'm sure she'd appreciate that.
I found the other day that all their toilet paper rolls were stuffed inside of it. I wonder if that was an editorial comment from one of the boys or Boggle. The toilet paper rolls are for them to chew and play with. Hilda and Virginia used to love to try to drag them from the bottom to the top of the cage. It was something to hear them drag them only to let them go at the top and hear the thing fall. In the middle of the night. None of the current residents do that - they just chew them into itty bitty bits. Actually, the hairless ladies are quite the chewers. They chew the rolls, they chew the fleece that I give them to sleep in and they also like to chew on the towel and my clothes when they sit with me.
They are all doing well, though. Boggle is starting to show her age and has lost a fair amount of weight since the surgery. I guess it wasn't a good recovery in the sense it took a lot out of her, but it had to be done. Considering where it was, it would have been a short time before it would have taken over her urinary system/GI system and would have been her death. As it is, she has been given some time. Her other lump is still there, but growing at a very slow speed. It won't be an issue in her health or longevity. Boggle has been with us about two years and was about three months old when we got her. Not bad for snake food!!!
The cat is still well, but is also starting to show her age a little. She is very healthy were were told (she had a number of tests done not too long ago), but is starting to mentally wear down and getting little "eccentricities". That's okay though. We are managing and still having fun with her!
Oh well. Look at the time. Should be wheel time soon!
