Specs Spradow enters the Black Country!

[Amethyst_ice]

So today is the day when i am all being well meeting Tish at Crewe to collect one of the Spradows!

I am so so excited! Was like christmas last night! Sadly i was woken by my builders at 7.45am and have since not been able to get back to sleep- grrr so thought I would show you all what Specs will be livin in.

I got the Cambridge from ebay for £5.50 but the lady refunded me £2 because of some breakages. I tried to fix the two bars that had come off the top opening but last night the glue didn't hold so i have used duct tape and will keep an eye on if he chews. Pumpkin hasn't chewed his duct tape in the bin cage so hoping Specs won't. The base was very dirty-why don't people clean wee stains! Really bugs me! Few bits of chewed base along the sides as well but sanded them down.

The cambridge im liking but few things bug me. The ladders were not long enough to stretch to where i put the shleves and the bar alignment makes it tricky to hook things straight onto. Im not too fussed on where the doors are either because it makes trying to arrange the base tricky..lucky i have little hands!

However this is what i have done until i learn what kind of a little guy he is. He will be having his savic house. I havn't bombarded it with toys because he will be having lots of change in next few days bless him.

Bear got a bit jealous when he saw me putting the corn in but i had a word with him that he has to share..he gets bit possessive about food bless him.



My homemade hammock



My bf spent ages making this puzzle playground last night..its missing 2 triangles on the bottom but hopin its ok. I actually dreamt i had legs made of the stuff last night- how bizzare!! If specs likes it i want to get some more



Porridge's old wheel thanks to FM it is under the yellow shelf


This is the best i could do with the ladder situation-grrr


And then this i forgot i had so he can have a chew if he so pleases


Specs new home

Just a few toys then Nat . . . ?!

It looks wonderful, Specs is going to love it! I love the climbing wall - very good for chewers - might have to invest in one of those for Phoebs. I really like the way you have done the bridge, and the hammock is great - I wouldnt have the patience to make my own!

I have to say that after buying my first puzzle playground a few weeks ago I do really love it and will deffo be on the lookout for some more. Phoebe seems to be enjoying it - even if she is using it to poo in - but ho hum

Specs is a very lucky chap, hope that you have a good journey, and that specs settles in well x x

I prefer to keep toys natural of wood really..his cage is looking rather colourful but oh well. I just posted a message on the bargain toy thread about puzzle playground. My bf loves it cos its like lego and he likes making things lol i personally don't have the patience for it lol but im 2 small triangles short on this and eliott wanted to make it even bigger!

Im going to make pumpkin another bin cage cos he has taken to climbing and going in tubes so i need some more playground- its just so expensive for the little ammount you get and ive only found it online- i got one from a pet store but that wa sin scotland! x

oh and i loved making the hammock- was an old jumper and i miss using the sewing machine so i made two in case he decides to attack it lol x

What a lovely set up for Specs!

and I love the little pentagon shaped puzzle Playground...Mo wouldve loved that - she slept in her PP and this wouldve given her a little more space, wish I'd thought of that!!

Hope the handover goes to plan, look forward to hearing about it all later

[shazzy]
