Hi Sparky here,

Next week, on Thursday all being well I will be meeting my potential new friend and cage mate. I thought I would post some helpful advice for him.

1) You will be living indoors and will have a warm cosy home with a nice bed to lie on however may I point out the armchair is mine, if you value your life don't even consider parking your bum in it.

2) Food is good here however no matter how full you are and how close it is to the last meal there is always a reason to demand more.

3) Meeting new people, mummy also has visits planned for you so you can meet new people they are a great excuse to be the centre of attention and get lots of cuddles. Enjoy them and act as cute and endearing as possible.

4) There is a guy down stairs, when out and about wrecking mummies house (I have already started on the wall paper for you) he will act all big and hard and Mr Aggressive. Ignore him he's not that scary and there's a wire wall between him and us.

5) I am not bossy, I am pretty chilled but I do like to be in charge.

6 ) Your "wheek" should only have one volume level, very loud. To test it out compete with the vacuum cleaner. If it's loud enough you will be heard over the noise of the vacuum cleaner.

7) Mummy sometimes gets poorly and uses a noisy box to help her breathe, do not be scared of this however it is very important that you give her lots of extra cuddles and attention. You must be prepared to leave your bed at all hours of the day or night in order to rend this service.

8 ) I have boar bottom problems and I sometimes get rather wiffy, please don't complain about (though I apologise) and please don't laugh when mummy sorts my bum out, it is not funny and remember, you too will grow old and may have to suffer the same.

9) If you get sick mummy will take you in the the noisy metal box, known as "car" to see a very nice man who will help make you better but, he will also do very unpleasant things as well. Unfortunately it is one of those things we have to bear as piggies.

10) Mummy will keep our cage clean by cleaning us out every week, I would appreciate some assistance in trashing it the minute she's finished her task.

Well I think that is all, looking forward to meating you when I can decide whether I am happy for you to move in with me.

Love Sparky

Hey there Sparky!

Wheeee wish we had been given such awesome advice before we moved in with our mammy!

We were such little boys and it took us a good few months to reach the ultimate wrecking machines that we now are hahahaha. Mammy says we can wreck our cage in under a minute AWESOME lol.

Good luck with your new buddy and feel free to offer any other advice you think may be needed

Wheeks from Jacob and Edward x (p.s mammy put the kiss not us!)
 
Hi Sparky,
Great advice for your future cage-mate! I wish Florence had seen this list before she moved in with me. She hogs the house and tunnel with her big fuzzy butt! I hope you find a friend who doesn't sit in the way so much.

Hello, I am pleased that people enjoyed reading my advice and that others may of found this advice useful had they had it at an earlier date.

As for further advice, Yes I can certainly offer that.

When out and about, explore carrier bags. They often contain tasty veggies. Try to be subtle when dragging your discoveries away, it is incredibly difficult though to drag a cucumber in a subtle manner, so practice is required. Be careful what you climb in mind as it may be a rubbish bag which runs the risk of mummy, accidently throwing you out.

Also as this photo will attest, it is not a cool look :red

You look so silly sparky! Frazzle here, and my advice is do as I do, instead of jumping in the rubbish bag - jump in the hay bag when mummy isn't looking!
 
Aye I know I look right wally, don't I? Not my finest hour I must say.

Frazzle that is a fantastic idea, mummy usually keeps our hay bag in the cupboard but a couple of times I leapt in it and had a fabby time, you can make a right mess in and with a hay bag.
 
Ah, I did it when mummy was filling up my hay tray, i normally peep my head over the side of the cage to say hello, so while she was holding the hay bag by the cage and filling up the tray, I hopped in! :))
 
Great advice Sparky. Frazzle is right though, you should jump into the hay bag rather than the rubbish! Looking forward to seeing your new friend x
