They are only small painted stones and knotted bracelets from colourful cotton threads but the children get so exited when they find them. We have been doing it for years. The stones are not perfect, as I have to paint at least 20 - 30. I just doodle things on themSuch a lovely thing to doNess
These are from this morning but need the final clear vanish.

[/Q. I think they are absolutely fabulous and what a lovely thing to do!
This is the reason I have to clean Nibbles en-suite daily!
He pees and poops in the toilet (good boy) but then he also stacks most of his treats there! And because it’s only a small toilet it gets full rather fast, so then he stuffs toilet paper in there and pees on that too if the sand is dirty! He doesn’t mind me cleaning it, he sits in his wheel in the playpen watching me and casually has a clean.
I couldn’t leave it for a few days, let alone a week

Today most of the treats stayed dry, but sometimes they are very soggy and then coated with sand. After cleaning I put down a bit of his food which he eats during the day. And where the heck did he find those two half eaten yogurt’s drops
I thought he’d be tired tonight as it’s warmer. After 2,5 hours running in his wheel I persuaded him to come out. He went foraging so it wasn’t easy to scoop him up but I managed it so as a treat I let him free roam, he’s back in the playpen now. But only five more minutes and then it’s bedtime 
I don’t know why he’s so mad on those curtains he rolls in them

Such a sweet film of nibblesI thought he’d be tired tonight as it’s warmer. After 2,5 hours running in his wheel I persuaded him to come out. He went foraging so it wasn’t easy to scoop him up but I managed it
he's a lovely little chap! As for the ensuite I'm quite shocked that a gentleman like nibbles would leave it in a state like that for his mummy to clean... Oh Nibbles!!

Nibbles, you are just so cuteI thought he’d be tired tonight as it’s warmer. After 2,5 hours running in his wheel I persuaded him to come out. He went foraging so it wasn’t easy to scoop him up but I managed it
Hamsters do seem to have an interest in curtains. I think Maz knew a hammy who would climb a set of curtains to a dizzy height 
but luckily your beautiful curtains are harder to climb (hopefully). Higgins plays with a dangling curtain sash. Nibbles is looking very smart

He is sweet but a sweet messySuch a sweet film of nibbles
He is mad on those curtains but does not try to climb them. He scent marks them and rolls around in them gruntingNibbles, you are just so cute
he knows now to stay on that side of the kitchen, although I have secured the tiny gap where the fridge is, I rather have him in that side. He pulled the basket down with the cat toys and scattered them around. He enjoys his free roaming so much. I plucked my courage and scooped him up yesterday in the playpen (thanks to Yorkie). It went very well. But I will not carry him anywhere in case he jumps. As a treat I let him free roam. When he climbed into the taxi (sand bath) instead of putting him back in his cage, I let him out on the cushion in front of his cage. The surprised look on his face was priceless and off he toddled. After his fun I scooped him up and put him back in the cage, he wasn’t impressed and clung to the basket I put him in as a taxi. I wasn’t tired so I put him back in the playpen. He was happy but it wasn’t what he wanted. he looked at me and climbed in his taxi, holding on to the opening like driving a car, he obviously wanted me to lift him out and put him on the cushion again so he could free roam. Isn’t it amazing how intelligent they are?
Sorry Nibbles I didn’t give in
it was 2 am and he had been out since 10 pm 
Tomorrows is another day
I love this little lad, he is so funny and so sweet. He’s the only male i am willing to clean up the bathroom every day after he leaves it in a mess
