The girls have had a lovely evening, and are both now absolutely exhausted (although I'm betting this will change the minute the cage door opens for free range time later..)They've never had a piñata before, but it's something I've always wanted to try with them..
It's really simple, and the excitement caused them both to run around like maniacs, long after the last sunflower seed had been gobbled up!Nova attacked it immediately, but it took Freya a few minutes to realise there was something yummy inside, then she quickly figured out, it was easier to let Nova do all the ripping, and tugging, and she could hoover up the fallen goodies from below..
I will definitely do it again, although, next time, I will make it a bit more of a challenge..
Then I left the door open, with a little tub of shreddies nearby, and sat back to watch the girls 'escape'
It was very funny watching tubster Nova trying to 'sneak' out of the cage, with a very guilty look on her face, grab a shreddie and dive back into the cage as though it was the naughtiest thing in the world!
She seemed completely oblivious to the fact that I opened the cage, placed the box there, and fully expected them to come out..
Once in a while it's good to let them 'sneak out and steal' some treats.. with mine, it's exciting enough to prevent any genuine naughtiness.. (usually, but not always..)
I have discovered Novas secret hiding place for treats, and so has Freya, much to her annoyance.
It's not very secret. Under the wheel in fact.
It couldn't be much more obvious if it had a neon sign saying 'TREATS HERE' hanging over it.
She's been very busy transferring everything to an even less secure location.. inside the hammock they both sleep in, I can see a scuffle brewing.. >___<
