Just a quick message from me to admit that when I was allowed out on top of the cage earlier, I saw a shadow move on the wall and I jumped backwards. I thought it was an intruder or, even worse, a politician canvassing for a vote. It was just a shadow though. I feel better now just for admitting it.

Leaving a ‘cheesy ball’ potato snack on top of Ronnie and Derek’s cage is one way to keep them occupied, although not often as they’re not exactly nutritious!
Watch the videos below to watch them in action – the first one is the ‘fisticuff’ highlights and the second one has more of the action.

I previously posted about how I bought a ‘cozy’ tube and hammock from Silver’s Rattery Etsy shop.
Ronnie and Derek were recently both in the same tube and it ended with Derek kicking Ronnie out – see the photos below. I subsequently bought another tube so they can use one each!
