MY POOR ROBOS. I've done a practical joke on them and cruelly hidden their food inside a toilet tube taped upright to the back of the tank, dump-bin stylee. In order to access this, they must first climb atop their lightbulb box, where they usually sleep, and, climbing through two further tubes, affixed higher to the back mirror (higher than they can access without said rooftop climb) they eventually come, obstacle course-style to the top of said giant dump-bin of birdseed.I've seen Bashful doing this already, all shaggy-furred and popping in and out of said obtstacular tubings. She looks ever so funny.
Now I've cleared the floor of ALL tasties, including chicken bones, chicken jelly (from the two-pound roast one I bought the other day)... red peppers and cheese bread bits... old French fries ... and all manner of tasty treats. Everything's balancing by sheer grace of willpower and gravity up high above their heads. And so far, all they've done is wander around looking faintly confused about the entire matter!
What set me off on all that climbing lark was my installation of a broccoli tree with elephant-protector-style toilet tubing round the base trunk. Spherical crouched into this and was next seen perching upon the treetop's canopy looking ever so tubby and round. Then she got bored and simply sprang down (a good 25ft drop in human terms). Went for a wee. Then took to thundering onwards upon her wheel.
Well as you can see there's little other news from my end. Surely this can only be a good thing...?
Oh, we're getting new locks installed early next week... isn't THAT a change from the old landlord, where it was a luxury to have any locking doors at all!
Hope you're having a pleasant weekend, everyone!
Cheerio!!

your weekend looks as exciting as mine!
Neat-o! I think adding challenges like the food puzzle is a great way to add fun and interest for the hammies.
Your weekend is sounding pleasant Gledwood :) Apart from "a practical joke on them and cruelly hidden" food from your hamsters! Hhehhehhee The last house I lived in didn't have locks for ten years but wasn't broken into for that long either. It's good to hear your Landlord this time might not be from the bottom depths of hell
};-}
After last weekend, I'd have thought you'd be grateful for the peace and quiet. Poor little furballs . .I hope they find the birdseed more easily than you did! No locks on your doors? Don't you live in central London? Mind, I don't lock anything . . .one of the joys of living on acres, nobody can be bothered breaking in! Cheers :)
Now that's just plain mean lol poor little furballs. Serves you right if Spherical kept you awake all night on that wheel of hers he he *!*
btw ... broadband here is known as narrowband because the speeds are a joke *!*
Are you happy about your new Mayor?
Hi Gleds ~~ Glad your weekend was a peaceful one after the last one. And I hope the hammies get their food OK
and don't starve on you. Glad about the new locks, that's great. It must feel like home by now.
Thanks for your visit and comments.
I agree we have the choice of our attitudes. It is very sad that you left off your homespun wisdom to go
to the drugs. Take great care, Love,
Merle.
New locks? You're going up in the world Gleds! :)
Don't lose der leitfäden keys or das doors mit lockenheimers will nicht let you out meine kleine hamster.
aahhhh, boor little robos! lol
You'll be happy to hear I bought two chinese dwarf hamsters today for my boys! (Roger and Theodore)
I hope those little Robos find their food! Poor little things!
Hi Gleds I hope you are well settled in to your new place,Your playing tricks on the little hammies, I hope they can manage to find there food..Take care Gleds,, Jan
I visited with my brothers cats yesterday and they provided entertainment as well.
"Mama" cat is really something...she LOVES attention and fetches things like a dog. If no one's paying attention to her (heaven forbid!), she will go pick up her little bottle top (her favorite toy) and drop it into a sour cream container. Like her own game of kitty basketball or something. Her son ("Taz") is a big klutz and not very catlike at all...he actually falls off windowsills and is scared of everything. They're very different cats!
Been gone for 10 days and you have a new home! Will have to spend some time reading up on the goings ons...hope all is well ;)
So in other words I need to construct them a wee little sign saying "Will Word For Food" LOL I bet they are an entertaining sight!
Yay for locks on the door!
Gleds, I haven't been able to do much visiting of late but I'm so pleased to hear that you're safely moved in to your new abode, that it has locks!, and that your robos are also happy in their new home. Albeit slightly confused by your new food set-up!
Fancy the call-answerers not believing you! You should have sent them to your blog where they could have read your stories. Cheek.
You're sounding happier too.
Oh, and how was the Chinese curry?
Home from my holidays ..glad your move went ok and hope your soon well settled x
Hey Gled, hope all is well.
