I'm trying extra hard to give Dougal as much enrichment as I can while he is on his own, so tonight I made him an eggbox veg puzzle. I prodded holes in the eggbox with a skewer and poked sprigs of coriander through from the inside to the outside. The leafy ends and the rest of his veg were consequently inside the box, which I closed before giving to him. Well, I laughed until my stomach hurt. After eating the bits that were poking out he proceeded to try to get the rest of the veg...by flinging the box about, jumping on and off it and giving me the most withering looks imaginable - how dare I make him work for his veggies? What a BAD slave!
 
Oh my thats really funny! :))

I can just picture the guinea pig throwing a tantrum. Mine were lazy when I tried to make them work for theirs, they just walked off after a few minutes of trying but couldn't.
 
Going to try this later on if I can find an egg box!
 
I tried this again tonight, but with Dylan this time while Zebedee had veggie-lap-time (part of my cunning plan to win the boys over to being handled more!). Dylan ate the coriander that was poking out then forced his nose in a gap at the side between the bottom and the lid and flipped the lid open. He then proceeded to demolish the veggies inside whilst looking at me as if to say, "You'll have to do better than that to keep me from veggies, feeble hooman!" :lol!:
