So I never thought I would be one of "those" pet people. You know who I'm talking about - they bombard you with comments about "how cute" it was when little Fluffy rolled over and "made a stinky" on the carpet. You would rather die than hear one more comment about their pet that is probably laughing inside as they make their human pick up after them.
I swore I would never be like that. And for a while I was saved. I had fish, and aquatic frogs growing up - but no one can really gush about their aquatic pets - they just don't do enough even if you are a pet fanatic.
Enter these two girls. I'm a changed woman. I can't stand when they seem bored, or sad, or lonely. So recently when it seemed that they didn't like any of their toys - even when we re-arranged everything, I went shopping. Along the way, they got some extra treats, and extra challenges.
They LOVE their new foraging toy - we put treats inside it, and they spend all night trying to get at them!
Mealworms are now their absolute favorite treat - they can't get enough of them. And they 'attack' them as if they were still alive! It's as though they have an instinct that tells them the worms might actually escape if they don't eat it fast enough.
