Robin the hamster

[Catherine]

It's a laugh a minute sometimes. All of my pets are independent little creatures. They have their own plans and what I want just doesn't enter into it. Hamsters are quite capable of getting up on the bed in the middle of the night and making demands.
The guinea pig boys now know that they can get extra treats if they act up. I have had snakes trick me into an extra feeding by pretending they were not fed yet.

My gecko will not eat while I am watching. So, when I look at the tank he does not move. If I look away, he sneaks a bit closer to the food dish. I look back and he freezes, look away and he creeps closer. At some point the food is gone and I didn't see him eat it. Some day I will see him eat.
