Derek moaning about a wash
Ronnie and Derek had a wash in the bath. Ronnie didn’t mind too much but Derek wasn’t keen, squeaking whenever he was touched. He was fine afterwards though and enjoyed a good scratch!

Carrot nibble stick and chicken bone
Carrot nibble stick and chicken bone
Watch Ronnie and Derek enjoying a carrot nibble stick and the remains of a chicken bone.
The carrot nibble stick was bought from Tesco and they enjoy it a lot. The packaging says it should be an occasional treat despite coming with a plastic hook to hang it with, so I hang it in their cage just for short periods. Ronnie and Derek also have a honey nibble stick, bought from Carrefour during a Calais day trip, which permanently hangs in their cage as they’re not massively keen and so only nibble on it occasionally.
