Hi all. Been a while since I've popped in here, December has been a busy month!
Just wanted to post a funny bit of antics that I found Joey up to this morning...
I've got a silent spinner in their topper, and it happens to be attached to the topper wall near their food bowl.
We had a second silent spinner in another spot in the topper.
Pepper sort of adopted the one by the food as his own, and Joey adopted the other as his. Unfortunately, Joey's wheel was a second hand one that came with the topper, and it's always been loud, something wrong with it, and last night my wife took it out as it was annoying her over night. lol
So this morning I got up and was making my breakfast and I heard some weird sounds in the gerbil home, so I went and looked, and saw Joey, standing in the food bowl, up on his back legs, using his front paws to 'run' along the outside of the "Peppers spinner", spinning the wheel round and round. Then he'd stop suddenly and jump back, kicking food everywhere in the process (grrr), then would run back and do it again. And again. And again.
lol It made me laugh, it looked really silly. Made me think that Joey was figuring, Hmm, they took my spinner... well I can't use Pepper's spinner... guess I'll just do this! And I'll throw food all over the place just to let my people know how annoyed I am with them stealing my spinner.
Wish I'd thought to take a video.
