a thread for Chub :)

Hi everyone

I thought it was time I started a proper thread and gave a proper introduction to my chubby wee Chub! Plus, since I had my iphone stolen

, I've lost most of my photos and videos of him (I was rubbish at backing up and my icloud was always full - rubbish me!), so with a new one on it's way, I want to make sure I always have a record of his wee life

I got him in June when he was roughly 6 months old. He was being given away as he was a bully ham and had been picking on his brother. He was never mistreated, but was a bitey wee man and his old owners had just left him to it and as a result he had never been properly tamed.

Now he's my best wee pal

He lets me manhandle him all I want, as long as he gets a treat at the end of it. He still has days where he just doesn't want to come out, then days where it's a fight to get him back in! Some days he's cuddly, others he's a grump, but I love every wee mood he has, and I love him to bits. He's just perfect the way he is!

Here he is, munching his favourite broccoli whilst having a laze in my hand

He's lovely. It's a shame you lost your photos and videos but I'm sure you'll takes lots of lovely new ones for us to see.

Thanks guys! He is a wee cute

Last night I changed half his substrate to fitch and he had fun exploring!

He checked out that everything was still in it's place first...

Before deciding the best way to begin burrowing....

And under he goes!

Nowhere to be seen!

I love his wee bum poking out haha!

Thanks Nikki!

He is a wee cheekybum!

Just got note that my replacement phone is on it's way and will be with me tomorrow so I'll be photo spamming over the weekend no doubt

Can't wait til my iphone arrives tomorrow and I can have half decent phone camera again!

Until then, here are some pics of tonight's playtime in his mini play area that he uses when I've mopped my hallway!

First course of action, zoom around and see what's what!

Secondly, pop into my play house and have a ten minute groom, followed by a five minute munch!

Now, where can I find me some food?

Hmmm, maybe up here?

..is that...?

DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS MILLET UP HERE?!?

Ok, that's me done now. Take me home!

I love the storyline! The millet line was great

and I thought the ending was perfect. His playpen area is wonderful. Your wee man is hugely loved

what a gorgeous little guy he is

i love his home and playpen - he's got it good! looking forward to seeing more of chub x

Thank you guys

He is very, very loved! He chews on the bars when it's time to get out. He's obviously realised that when he's finished a wee bar chew gets my hand in there and up he goes! Clever clogs!

His cage is a mess which is just the way he likes it. I can try to sort it out until I'm blue in the face but he just kicks everything everywhere again! I always think it looks a bit bare but he has loads of cardboard tubes buries about so he spends a lot of time under there. I did offer more times etc at the start but he just ignored them and I realised he was a burrower!
