First was Trixie, moving into a smaller tub as she isn't doing well in the bigger tub.
Then it was Boris's turn but this was a clean out. Poor thing was absolutely terrified, shows that their rep is born out their fear.
Back to the tub
Then came Sam the little hair kicking feisty monster.
First she tries to run away so I have to give her the glass over trick but more of a bucket.
Then she showed me her legs
Then back to her tub

Stunning looking spiders.
Not sure how you cope with one of those running at you though, I'd be screaming like a little girl.. |
Coming soon... |

Oooh thats unlucky, get some really strong duct tape and put it on that area then pull it off, it should take any barbs with it and then it should stop been so itchy. |

| I know what a wimp Boris is. He came out of the burrow I'd sliced open all pumped up but as soon as he came out and ran straight into the temporary tub he suddenly felt quite vulnerable. He has overnight rebuilt a burrow so he is fine again. |

Ah poor Boris. Glad he's got his burrow organised again. Sort of comfort blanky, bless him.
By the way - I too have an Orange Bitey Thing!
Molly. She's going through that arrogant teen kitten phase where everything that moves is prey.
She'll mouse anything. She'll mouse me! Ouch! |

Another one? Oh dear, they are a pain when they're like that.
If it's any help to your Mum, don't encourage him when he wants to play tigers. Tell him 'no'. If he's anything like Molly, he'll only show affection when he wants something, so pet him then, but if he's at all aggressive, don't attempt to touch him but talk to him affectionately and tell him he's a good boy if he inhibits biting/clawing. Tell him he's a good boy all the time save for biting/clawing.
When they've had a quick change of homes they can tend to be mixed up kids - Molly has started to turn a bite into a lick of my hand; she follows me everywhere and talks to me and sleeps next to me on the bed. But at other times she's still my Orange Bitey Thing. But a little patience and they grow out of it. |

Oh that's good if he'll behave for your Mum - more than Molly will for me, but I love her lol.
Yeah depends on who you identify with - I must say I prefer cats to dogs - have had dogs and know how to train them to be clean and quiet etc but found it exhausting being pack leader all the time. I hate having to boss something - usually my snakes and cats boss me and that's cool lol. |
