I have to report severe delinquent behaviour on the part of the caravanning cavies. It started a couple of weeks ago but has now escalated to the point where one or another is heading to the point where they become fur collars on our coats. For a while now they have been finding their way into the kitchen, but now the minute the cage is opened for floor time they troop all in a line to the kitchen, with Star now acting as ring leader.
Last weekend saw the culmination of the miscreant behaviour. On Sunday morning i smiled as they trotted into the kitchen. The smile vanished when I went to see what they were upto.
Cosmos was trying to find ways to get under the sink, Twinkle darted under the kitchen table (one with drop down leaves which were closed), Astro had found some cabbage and Star, well Star was sitting atop some shopping bags which were waiting to be put away (containing cans I must add). She was sitting proud as punch on top of the "mountain" she had climbed.
Once chased out of the kitchen we discovered they had found the container for the potatoes and had "sculpted" three of them. Luckily none of them were green as they were very fresh and no ill effects but will someone tell me how to explain to them not to eat spuds as they are bad for them.
Finally this morning as I was preparing their breakfast in the kitchen and happened to glance down only to see Star looking up at me and then she started wheeking and the other three came sprinting into the kitchen expecting treats.
I am now waiting for the gang to take up permanent residence in the kitchen.
