So it’s been a bit of a tricky week for us. Our big and daft husboar Boris passed away. We’ve worked out who’s in charge (Intimidating Iris - as if that was ever in dispute) and we are getting along just fine.

But today we were unceremoniously put in to our pet carrier with just a handful of hay and left there while the slaves were doing the cleaning out. Oh we were excited at the thought of clean bath mats to scent mark, and clean hay trays to dive into.

Imagine our shock and disbelief that while we were nibbling hay and dreaming of our newly cleaned home and hay trays someone stole a great big chunk of our cage. Yes! You heard right! A whole big chunk of cage and a hay tray have vanished.

We pointed this out to our big slave and bumped into the end just to emphasise the point but she says we are “downsizing” now that there’s only 2 of us. Seriously? How are we supposed to manage in a 5 x 2? It’s tiny.
Please help us, GPU
Iris and Hazel.

Oh no, can't believe your slave has been so ... we are really lost for words! :yikes:
That's a scandalous behaviour.

We had something similar happen to us some months ago. Slave pretended not to be able to cope with the big cage and fleece.
So we made sure that she knew just how unhappy we were.
Billie tried the "running into the wall" approach. Didn't work!
We refused to go back to the cage after floor time.
Didn't work!
We saved a lot of poops to deposit under the sofa during floor time.
Didn't work either, but there was a lot of mumbling from our slave when she was cleaning up.
After a few months we came up with the perfect idea. If you start to squabble a lot, it gets your slaves attention! AND a bigger cage! :yahoo:

Let's hope this strategy will work for you as well.

Dear Iris and Hazel,
Having suffered the same fate a few weeks ago we truly sympathise with you.
Nothing we did worked so we had to endure a small cage ( 3x2 + 5 x 2 ).
Your new cage is hardly big enough for a hamster - it’s an insult.
We wish you well in trying to get a suitable, proper home restored.
Love from Ruth and Micah

PS - we will watch this thread carefully, just in case our Slave gets any silly ideas about downsizing us.

You are so right - we are being treated like a pair of hamsters. It’s shocking - we’ve barely got enough room to have a hay throwing competition.
 
Dear Iris and Hazel

I'm so sorry to learn that your Husboar Boris has left you and therefore your Slave got it into her thick head that you needed a downsize. This just will not do! There you are a couple of grieving wifelets and now you have a smaller cage! Has your Slave no sympathy? You clearly need a larger cage so you aren't cooped up together and can get away from each other if you feel the need.

You need to let your Slave know that this is totally unacceptable. I think that what Vicky from GPFANS has said is a very good idea about starting squabbling (but only pretend squabbling, obviously as you are clearly best friends). As bumping into where your cage was and now isn't didn't appear to work or give your Slave the hint that your cage is considerably smaller than it was and you aren't happy about it, you could both try sitting where your now smaller cage ends and not move in protest. Take up bar biting (if you don't already) and chew on those bars (but not so hard it breaks your teeth) to annoy your Slave into submission. When she takes you out for cuddle time make sure you do a nice big wee all over her lap and if she puts you on a blanket or pee pad ensure to shuffle your bum off it to aim your wee all over her trousers/jeans/skirt. Also do lots of poops of protest.

Yours very disappointed in your Slave
