Esmeralda has a mad half-hour after she wakes up for the first time in the evening, and she was bar-chewing, always in the same place - right where she knew I could see her from the other room. Little Madam!

But I seem to have found a way to divert her. I cut up a toilet roll as though I was going to make one of the 'puzzle balls'. But, instead of criss-crossing them to hide a treat inside, I thread the rings onto a piece of sisal string, loosely tie it into a loop so that the rings splay out like fingers, then hang this directly in front of the place she was chewing.

They have to be replaced every day, because she chews them really violently till they disintegrate, and that seems to satisfy her. She goes back into her house for her mid-evening nap, before running into Sagunto and back during the night - ha ha ha. Tomorrow, after I make it and before she destroys it, I'll take a photo.
