Alcatraz Arrived

Backblipped on 18th April 2012

And so, the only rat cage I've ever bought new arrived today! I've called it Alcatraz, although it's actually called a Hamberley Parrot Cage or some such! Following the girls' escape from their cage last week, I made the decision that I'd have to get them something that had all metal surrounding it. I looked on ebay, but the only thing suitable went so high in price that the petrol to collect it would have made it more expensive than this monster - which, fortunately, was (a) on sale and (b) came from a store where I have a discount card!!!

All I needed to do now was build the thing!

And find somewhere to put it!

The GOOD news about having to buy a large metal cage is that it means I can have more girl ratties! Hurrah! :-)

The other thing that's worth mentioning, for the record, is that I was, at this stage, having problems with my hearing. My right ear was feeling really peculiar and not working properly. I kept trying to "pop" it, but to no avail. It was getting really annoying, and using the phone was becoming something of a trial!

Future blips will finish off the story of the ear!!!
