Zylvan, another new man in my life!

Aw he looks nice and content with his cheese there, so cute. Cheese is a favourite here too even if a rare treat

I always love how the Chineseys perch on their bowls, such balance and agility that the Russian hams could only dream about lol

Zylvan looks so cute perches on the side of his bowl - plus he looks he was thoroughly enjoying his piece of cheese.

Thanks mangoandmimi, BP & SKB
lol! BP not really Russian style is it

Took a couple of photos of him yesterday, he was determined not to show his face to the camera, too busy foraging!
He has a coconut that he loves & I hide treats in it every evening & he can't wait to climb in, sits in there for ages eating his treasures

I had to find something to replace his rodipet tubes as he started peeing in them for some reason best known to himself! I tried replacing them a couple of times but he kept on peeing & they were going mouldy I tried a few things like a cardboard box/house, a snoozecube but he wasn't a happy boy so after treasuring Zen's sand bath with her little foot prints in the sand for a year I finally let her go & gave Zylvan the sand bath & now he's a very happy boy, loves it!

Aww, Zylvan looks so adorable, handsome, and happy enjoying his goodies in the coconut and playing in Zen's sandbath. I can totally understand being so extremely sentimental and feeling the strong desire to treasure Zen's lovely paw prints in the sand for so long; I am just the same and have a really difficult time letting go of precious and sweet reminders of those loved ones who have passed. Huge hugs to you, Cypher. I'm sure it put a smile on your face to see Zylvan frolicking and playing in the treasured sandbath though. I'm sure Zen will be happily and lovingly watching her brother and you from the Bridge and will be very pleased that her special place is now being so greatly appreciated and cherished by one of her beloved hamily members, too. She was such a loving, little sweetheart and would want her special things to be shared by those she loves.

Two different locations but two identical poses He's very cute, shame he pee'd on his rodipet tubes though Sparky and Snappy had sea grass tunnels when we first got them but they pee'd all over them they were replaced with cardboard tubes Thankfully they haven't pee'd in their rodipet tubes, phew.

That must have been quite hard to loose Zen's little paw print but she did leave her paw prints on your heart and they'll always be there I'm sure Zylvan will look after the sand bath, he ceertainly looks very happy with it

Such cute pictures!

[cypher]

Thanks guys

It was a bit of a wrench letting Zen's little foot prints go but you're right BP they are & always will be on my heart & it is so lovely to see how much Zylvan is enjoying having that special place now.

Bless Zylvan taking to Zen's sand bath, him enjoying it shows how much it's appreciated.
Love the coconut pics, maybe he was having a shy day.

[cypher]

Thanks Lizzy, I think he was just enjoying his treats! He's rarely shy these days but once he's getting stuck into those seeds there's no stopping him & I get completely ignored
