Bubbie!

[Marc_H]

Hey this is the Chipmunk I got 5 or so weeks ago, Bubbie. Pinkpill and a few others of you will have seen these pictures in another thread.



Apart from one or two bites, she's very tame and will think nothing of climbing up and down my face 
She really likes coconut and bananas, and is easily manipulated with food
 
I know her cage looks very bare in the middle picture, but that was taken in the first couple of days I had her. I've since gotten a big chunk of a tree at the bottom of the cage. It's a 3-tier ferret cage, with the middle level taken out for jumping room

[pinkpill]

oh she is lovely u should see my cages theyre full to bursting, tubes, hammocks n bungees n soft hamster beds no room for the chips

[Marc_H]

yeah I still want to get more stuff for her to play in, since she doesn't bother with the wheel (you should see the burrow she's built under that wheel though, it's huge!)

[adamclark18]

She looks lush, its impossible not to spoil your chippie with items for their cage, mins the same as pinkpill, no room anymore coz of the items in there lol

ive tried cocunut with mine and they havent bothered with it

[pinkpill]

you mean a coconut shell? as mine all have them hollowed out n hung up, but the buggers keep bitin thru the cable ties so i'm forever re-attatching them

[jennyb]

Bubbie is beautiful i love her colouring

I've tried coconut, some of mine liked it but others weren't very bothered

[pinkpill]

i give them the dried coconut they often nibble on it but the fresh stuff didnt go down well, they just left it to go off

[Marc_H]

Any ideas for more stuff I can fit in this cage? I want to get more tubes and platforms and stuff, but I'm not sure where the best place is to get them since most pet shops charge crazy amounts for that sort of thing

[pinkpill]

i find hanging hamster beds and tubing go down well with my lot and i got some clear perspex tubes of ebay, good but quite expensive

Building sights are a good source for old/broken/surplus drain pipes. Second hand shops are good for such things as tubing from old tumble dryers. Ask around friends see if any were lucky enough to have whiskey bottles in tubes. Branches from trees do not have to be too thick to be useful placed on an angle across the corners you can wedge them in the mesh.
Try moving the nest box to the top shelf and take out the middle shelf then you can get a larger branch to stand from top to bottom.

[Marc_H]

she doesn't even use the nest box to sleep in any more, she just stores nuts in there and builds little bunkers to sleep in down the bottom

She is so pretty!!!

[Marc_H]

Oh man, I just gave her a boiled egg and she LAUNCHED at it. I don't think I've ever seen anything so excited about food

[Marc_H]

I wonder if she'd take to one of the "flying saucer" things for running on

[Marc_H]

I got some more stuff
