Thank you AP
I intend to check weigh Pip weekly from now on, she has looked a bit slimmer but was wondering whether the warm weather was a contributory factor on top of her age.
She is up this evening as normal filled her pouches with sunflower and pumpkin seeds along with a chunk of apple..! She has retreated to her new nesting area in her cave.
My only other concern was she tried to climb up onto the roof of her house and fell off backwards as she couldn't get a grip on the roof.....!Luckily it was only a couple of inches but she landed on her back and looked around as though she was embarrassed.
