Mr Nibbles Diary

That must be a relief it's cooler for you. You had it hotter and for a longer time I think.

Socks would stop as soon as my thoughts wandered. Our faces must seem huge to them, all our movements and tension magnified. They are quick learners, so might be picking up something from our expression. They can probably hear our breathing or even our heart beat

I believe they can sense our moods feelings too they definitely are very special and very sensitive

Yes we have had it for exactly one week
At least the extrem heat has been one week, I am so over it
In my office it was still 32 degrees today and that heat will stay for a few days. It’s an old buildings with thick walls. It takes longer too heat up but when the heats in, it’s trapped. Together with the smell of the heated up scrap metal and our Lorrie’s it’s not a fun place to be. But yesterday one of our many raccoons strolled close by at 7.00 in the morning after he had inspected our rubbish bins we have so many wild animals there I always wonder why they are so attracted by a scrap metal yard

I didn't know there were racoons in Germany. They are quite carnivorous animals so you don't want one in your house It's nice to have wildlife around. Do you get bears and wild boar nearby?

We have massive problems in some towns with Raccoons, they have overtaken complete streets. We don’t have bears but wolfs and lynx. The wolfs roams quite often where i work, he’s beautiful
I will post a video from a town close to us, the one with the raccoon invasion

Oh yes wild boars are here everywhere. You can buy the sausages made from wild boars
And we have loads of deers I can watch them from my desk in winter

Is Nibbles safe from racoons? They can open locks with their paws

Yes of course, we don’t get them in the house

That video is amazing, I've never seen so many in one place. Don't know how they cope. I love their little faces but that would be too much Ness

They are very annoying they destroy cars and roofs, gardens and tip up rubbish bins. But they are cute. One got trapped in our bin once, I let him out but was frankly very scared. He just ran off and gave me a scare. But what’s more frightening is coming across the wild boars if you go foraging in the woods. I would never go on my own.

How scary!! Couldn't cope with that. Ness

Grumpy piggies with moustaches

The Racoons must be looking for food or water if it's been very dry maybe? They are curious - like a cross between a tree climbing fox and a cat! I assume they don't attack or harm people. Maybe some pet charity should gather them up and create a sanctuary area where they can get what's needed.

It’s been going on for years. The problem is that they have no natural predators like in America.
They do a huge amount of damage, taking roof tiles off to get in and build their nest…scratching cars by climbing up etc. but they have a project going on to collect them and have them spayed
Something had to be done as the population is exploding

The Chinese wheel is getting too small he loves it so much, what a shame. I have ordered a Bucatstate on TEMU as they gave me a discount.
I couldn’t find the Chinese one a size bigger (it’s 22 cm).
When do they stop growing? His paws have even got bigger and the ears
I told Nibbles he looks like a bat- ster he was not amused.
He’s annoyed because I am playing with my phone instead of watching him spin the wheel
Oh well, it’s bed time soon that will really be a nogo

I was just about to make myself a cup of tea ️ and realised I had no milk here (I have got my pantry in the cellar). So I started singing the old but gold song no milk today…
Nibbles jumped off his wheel came running over to sit and listen! The first time ever someone likes my singing
