Hi :wave:
I just wanted to get some advice really...
Nicholas has really changed over the last few weeks. He's stopped sitting around feeling sorry for himself (he lost his wifey bun on 9th Nov). He has started wandering further out of his side of the lounge, climbing on chairs, he's even bitten through Stef's Wii and PS2 wires! :shock:
He has got VERY close to me, he sits on my lap and eats his pellets in the evening out of my hand. He knows when it's meal time, as he sees me take the lamp to the back door, to hutch the outdoor buns. Then, he waits at the door for me to return and gets all excited when I get back in the door.
The problem is, he is getting quite insistent that I am his 'special' friend! He runs rings around my feet, follows me everywhere in the lounge, gets funny with the cat if I fuss him, and nips me if I dont fuss him back! :shock:
I've tried making him new toys, cutting tunnels through boxes, food treats in wood rolls/ loo rolls, changing things around for little surprises in his house (3 storey NIC setup). He flops out in there like he's the king of the world, almost nothing fazes him. I had to sleep downstairs the other night (Stef was having a bad night and couldn't get upstairs again), and when I snored oops, Nick bolted down from the top floor of his house and was desperately trying to open the door on his house to get to me! :shock:
He is due to stay inside till spring, when Miffy will be coming back here to be bonded with him. Any suggestions on how to keep him occupied in the meantime?
How do you guys with single indoor buns keep them happy?
