This is the one I got http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bitter-Spray/dp/B001A2X4H8, I'm sure you can buy it from other places though. Good luck putting Maisy off nibbling!

We bought a bitter apple spray from amazon to stop Hera chewing the back of the sofa and we sprayed/painted all our wires with it too. So far so good but I'm never sure whether the bitter apple put her off or she just got bored :-? We have covered the Playstation cable (one of their favourite wires ...

When I was in Year 7 (so 11 years old) we had a classroom hamster and 2 rats. It wasn't a particularly nice school but there were never any problems as far as I can remember, no one poked anything inappropriate through the bars or set fire to the hamster. Mostly, the kids who weren't interested in a...

One of my girls, Roxy, has one black eye and one ruby eye, very beautiful. I'm glad your ratty's eye is just pretty rather than hurt!

Having the cage next to the radiator wouldn't be a good idea, your ratties might get too hot and if the radiators go off and on at different times of the day there would be quite an extreme temperature change being so close to the radiator.

I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea of the answer to your question but I just wanted to say how beautiful Kiwi is!

Completely agree with regard to the surface of the shelves, completely smooth or Jemma's fantastic idea of little bumps for added grip. Glittery would be amazing :D have just bought two pink ferplast shelves from you today - wish I'd come on here first and seen that you were making these, I would ha...

I just read through this hoping there was a happy ending. So sorry

Wow, that is amazing. I bet they love it

Wonderful video - thank you for posting it.

Thank you so much guys

I recently adopted two neutered boys (15 months) to intro to my girls (12 months). I popped them all in the bath and I felt things went quite well, my alpha female, Athena, went very poofy but calmed down after a bit. Then they went into a carrier for 24 hours. Athena sulked and sat by herself but t...

Eeee! I have just ordered an SRS! I was going to get an explorer but managed to find a new SRS for £211 (Amazon are doing them for £226 and I had a voucher) which is close enough to the Explorer price that it seemed worth doing. Why did the Explorer shoot up in price?! Anyway, I am super chuffed tha...

My girls get free run of the living room/dining room. Persephone likes to chew carpet but we now have a wooden floor and I am yet to discover anything they have chewed *frantically touches wood*.
