All About My Pumpkin

[cypher]

Aw! What lovely Easter photos SKB, so nice to see your beautiful Pumpkin enjoying her egg & she looks so sweet in her new bunny dish too

Good to hear things are a little better with your Grandma, wishing her all the best & hoping she continues to get better.

Pleased to hear that your Grandma is doing a bit better SKB, it's always a worrying time when someone close to you is ill. I'm glad Pumpkin has been giving you lots of cuddles and making you laugh. Hamsters are good at cheering us up when we feel sad

All the items in the book have pictures of Syrians but some do look a bit small but then being homemade I'm sure it could be adjusted if need be. To be honest you're so creative anyway that you probably come up with plenty good ideas if not better than what's in the book The flowers you made are really really nice. I'll need to look at that craft website you linked. I bought sisal string once but didn't like the smell so I thew it away :S

I did laugh to read that Pumpkin had thrown her egg in to her sandbath lol, that must have been so funny to see She looks so happy in her photo shoot, she's clearly enjoying her egg and flower and having a nice seat in her new plate

Pumpkin looks as though she had a great time with her Easter egg, good for her!
Very good news about your Grandma SKB. Hope her progress continues.

I'm glad your Grandma is getting better! I hope she has a quick recovery!!!

Pumpkin's photos are lovely. It's really cute seeing her sniffing the egg.

I love the cardboard flower. I need to check that tutorial too!!

What's the book that you are talking about??

Oh thank you!! It looks amazing, apparently they ship to spain. I'm sure shipping fees cost a fortune but I'm going to add it to my wish list.

Thank You cypher, BorisPasha, Coco61, Hamsterita and Thin Lizzy. Pumpkin has been loving her Easter egg she has had a few small piece a couple of time this week. It was very funny watching her throw her egg into her sand! Pumpkin has been continuing to comfort me through this sad time although my Grandma is making small improvements every day but still very poorly and she still has a long recovery ahead. Just having to take each day as it comes. But Pumpkin is still being a bundle of joy helping me to smile - I feel so lucky to have her in my life! So she been well rewarded with her favourite treat - dried mealworms - she still loves them!

It was very funny watching her the other night in her playpen pushing her cardboard boxes and toys around her playpen. She really made me laugh on Saturday, as I was slightly late getting her out for her cuddle time and Pumpkin was sitting in her grass house waiting for me. But it looked like she was trying to stop herself from falling asleep so she didn't miss me coming to get her out. It was very cute!


Treat Sorting and Tidying
Pumpkin is very good at keeping her treats (and a few chews) nice, tidy and organised!

Whenever I return Pumpkin to her cage after her cuddle time she runs over to her treat dish eagerly awaiting the arrival of her treats. If I'm a little to slow with deciding what treat to give her she will look into her bowl, then looks at me and then looks back to her bowl - like she saying "where are my treats!?" or she will sit in her treat bowl - as to say "it's empty!".

Once Pumpkin receives her treats she then goes about sorting through the treats making sure each treats ends up in the right hoard - either her food bowl, sandbath (although currently her DIY sisal hideaway), house or in her hidden burrow beneath her grass house. Its very cute watching her doing this!

The other week I had my camera to hand and managed to get a few photos of her tidying up and sorting through her treat dish moving one of her favourite treat, the wilko apple, berry and banana cubes ( Wilko Small Animal Apple Berry and Banana Cubes Treats 90g at wilko.com) into her food dish, before eating her porridge oats and linseeds.

I am glad your Grandma is improving family is so important.

Haha Pumpkin is such a little love. Her colour is very pretty, in case I haven't said so before.

Mushu wouldn't touch either his Easter egg, or mealworms. I wish he could send them to Pumpkin somehow!

I love how house proud she is. Reminds me of Monica from friends.

Aw Pumpkin is such an adorable girl, love hearing about your times together & her little habits
Great photos of her doing her treat house keeping!

Glad your Grandma is continuing to get better.
