The Goblin Diaries (previously Quitting Smoking)

There's a massive difference in atmosphere in the living room depending on which side of the bars you're looking at, lol.

I had a nightmare last night night that Mourne had escaped, in the usual "of course he can bounce over a foot high fence" Dream logic. But it wasn't just him, he had Bann doing it too 😱 :flag: although I don't know why I was surprised, it's not like Bann's some kind of guinea pig angel lol.

Dreams are weird.

I had one last week that chez got in Stripe's cage and they fought and Stripe was really hurt. Of course Chez could get out of I left the lid open.

That was Dream Me's paranoia, if Mourne could escape from his more secure cage he could easily get into Bann's, and then Bann was right there with him lol. Running around in the living room, the kitchen...

The cages were also in the wrong part of the living room and I'd been sitting in my kitchen when I first spied the escapees, except you can't actually sit in my kitchen, it's not big enough lol.
 
Chez has lost his taste for coriander so he gets extra cucumber and pepper. Once a week they get either wheatgrass or basil. I get the baby cucumber, too, and Stripe doesn't like green peppers. Stripe gets benebac on his red pepper but his poop is finally a good size and shape so he's going to get back to veg in a couple days.

Chez eats everything but coriander. For a while he was eating the leaves off the stem, but now he just leaves it.

Bless him for deciding that the more expensive luxury peppers are edible 🤣

I know, right? First few times I tried he'd stare at me, apparently querying if I was trying to feed him or poison him lol. I actually thought he was going to do the same thing this morning, so he's surprised me. Which is great because those might be expensive, but single packed organic bell peppers from Tesco are even more expensive and also ginormous.
 
Mourne has been in a noisy mood all afternoon and it's taking me some time to work out why, but sitting downstairs just now I noticed Mourne screaming at the bars and trying to climb on top of his log tunnel and be biting and shoving his nose as far through the bars as possible, all because Bann's decided to chew on the back corner of the roof of his carrot cottage.

Here's the fun part - he ate all the good stuff months ago. There's nothing left to eat. He knows there's nothing else left.

He also knows how much it's winding Mourne up.

I should be mad. Devious little git. I didn't even know he had it in him!
 
I mean, if Mourne could take a hint...lol. I remember picking him up after the first lunge 90s in and he didn't even try to fight it, he seemed so very confused as to wtf had just happened. And then as soon as I had him back in his own cage the incident was immediately forgotten and he didn't shut up again for two hours. 😱
 
I changed pellets again last night. I didn't bother to phase them out because I knew Bann would eat them (he loves the Versele, more than he does the Science Selective they were on) and Mourne was never fussed on the SS either. But he likes the Versele! In fact if Bann gets a treat Mourne has taken a pellet offering quite happily.

Mourne will only take his veggies through the bar of the divider. Bann doesn't care, it doesn't bother him, but it bothers me because I'm ending up trying to feed a lettuce leaf through tiny cage bars, and I frequently have to rescue it because it's dropped on Bann's side of the divider.
So there I am, left hand stretched out for Bann, right hand trying to feed Mourne, and I suddenly realised Bann's nose is right at my fingers. I didn't get chomped on! Well I did actually, but by Mourne. 🤨 who needs thanks and manners, eh?
