THE TUBE

The Tube

I recently bought a ‘cozy’ tube and hammock from Silver’s Rattery Etsy shop and Ronnie and Derek love climbing up on the hammock and sleeping in the tube – see photos below!

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.

Got a cob on

Watch Ronnie and Derek enjoying a dried corn-on-the-cob – and look out for Derek managing to pull the whole thing into the cage, plus Ronnie fighting Derek for some corn he had!

Derek and the pea, Ronnie and the bean, the ‘Ratty Plumbers’ and the Gravy Train

Yesterday, Ronnie enjoyed a green bean and a bit of leftover gravy, while Derek sat in one of the coconut shells holding a pea in his mouth! They then enjoyed a plum for dessert.

Clicking

Ronnie and Derek respond to a ‘clicking’ noise, as do many other animals, when they’re going to be fed a treat. Watch this below and see how excited they get when they hear the clicking!
