And then there was one

Knerten died last night. She had been ill for a couple of weeks and it wasn't unexpected. I'm sure it was the best thing for her, poor little one. She will be missed.

Fjerten

It seems Fjerten has finally recovered from the shock of the Great Escape. She's been climbing into my hand again for her morning snack this week. Here she is this morning:

Knerten takes a fall

She's a cutie, she is!

Merry Christmas!

Happy holidays! The little beasts are home alone and as usual they'll be fine. :-D

The Great Escape

Bummer that I didn't have a camera man on standby this morning!

Fjerten escaped. She was soooo eager to get her morning snack, she was practically jumping up and down. I opened the side door to her cage instead of the top door. This hasn't been a problem before, as she's been way too shy to get particularly close to my hand. This time, however, she more or less jumped up and suddenly she was outside on the floor. Oh noes!!

Freedom! But she only had it for like 2 seconds. I grabbed her so fast! :-) Lucky for me, she ran towards the wall and then to the right, which means she was aiming to get behind her cage. If she'd turned left, she would have been under the sofa before I'd even had time to blink. And then I don't think we would've ever seen her again.

True to form, she screeched when I caught her. Something tells me she'll be even more freaked out than usual over the next few days.

Food project: Sunday - final tally

So. It's 1pm Sunday Nov 15th. Since 1pm last Sunday, Knerten has eaten:

39 grams of broccoli
22 grams of hamster pellets
2 pieces of Kellogs AllBran
1 piece of regular bread
1 piece of white bread
1 piece of mango
4 pinches of rolled oats
2 pinches of cereal

Her food bowl right now:


So she hasn't actually finished all 22 grams of hamster pellets, but it's not far from it.

Also, there are two of these little beasts, so in a week they've eaten a whopping 78 grams of broccoli and 44 grams of pellets between them, plus heaps of rolled oats and some cereal!

Food project: Saturday

In the evening, she got a small taste of trilltrall's dinner. This is the first time she's had white bread.
