Default Re: Henry and Gordon

Henry our Syrian hamster does not chew, burrow or play with toys.

I made him all sorts of cardboard toys and puzzle toys in the past but he simply can't be bothered with any of it.

The only time he chewed was when he took a decorative garland down, he had climbed up his cage on both ends of the garland and bitten through it.

A couple of nights ago i made him a toilet roll toy, put slits in, then stuck sunflower and pumkin seeds in them. A short while later i retrieved the toilet roll minus the seeds and with chewed ends! Henry chewing cardboard was unheard of. So tonight i put more seeds in the slits and later retrieved the cardboard roll minus the seeds and the slits because Henry had chewed right through them.

I think that he was trying to tell me to stop messing with his food!
