Yes :rolleyes:

Egg Babies are in (well the fish and platypus - the others are still on backorder). They actually come with eggs inside, plus 2 replacement eggs. They are smaller than I expected but are pretty cool! I'll contact everyone tonight that ordered one.

You should of seen her last week before we got the clippers on her. She was just this big ball of fluff. We got the clippers out and shaved off the top of her coat so it wasn't so fluffy, as once it gets to a certain length it matts.

C - Charlie Cat. Enjoying the sun and a ear scratch in her cat run this morning.

I think I've PM'd everyone, but just incase: The supplier has run out of stock of the dinosaur and turtle egg babies and won't have them available until April. I've placed the order for the fish and the platypus which has gone through so hopefully I'll at least get those. I've got enough so that if anyone wants to switch from a dinosaur or turtle they can. This egg stuff is very stressful

I'm on the hunt for eggs

Sure I'm going to place the order tonight. I'll order enough to cover everyone's orders that have PM'd me and posted here, plus a few extra of each. For those that have enquired about prices they will be as follows: (I've tried to do my best price wise ) Puzzlepup - $27 Egg Babies - $18 IQube - Junior $19 Large $22 X Large $25 Hide a Squirrell - Junior $21 Large $27

The Egg babies will be $18. I was going to order in a few of each of the above and see how they go. I'm not sure if they'll sell quick or slow at this stage so Im going to test the water with just a few of each If you want one in particular PM me if you like and I'll keep it aside. I've had a few requests so Ill place the order over the next day or so, so I should have them all in stock and on the site by early next week.

After a bit of research I can get: Egg Babies : Platypus, Fish, Turtle and Dinosaur. Then I can get the I Cube, Hide a Squirrell, Hide a Bee, Hide a Bird and the Puzzle Pup. You have me curious now. I'm going to have to get some extra's in for Riley and see if he's smarter than I think I like the turtle. He's cute!

I don't have them in stock, but can get the icube, puzzle ones (the dog with the rings), and I can get the egg babys fish and platypus. If you get stuck and can't get them elsewhere I can order them in for you (I'll be placing a order in about 2 weeks) Edited to add - I've been thinking about getting some of these in for a while, but had no idea what they'd be like. I don't think RIley would be smart enough to get the eggs out

This is my "home". I come home to these noisy little buggers in the tree just outside our back door.

Well I haven't seen him lick once since our trip to the vet. Maybe he didn't like the vet looking at his bum so thought he should stop doing it :p

Im not sure about the Kong Frisbee's, but Riley had a kong (the normal ones you can stuff with treats & freeze etc) when he was in his destructive stage and he never destroyed it. He loved nylabones during that stage too.

Well he didn't lick at all yesterday which is good Maybe he just wanted to go the vet for some treats Edited to add - I have some cream that the vet gave me previously for his feet which I can use, also have pawpaw so ill try that if he starts licking again.

Well we went to the vet and the vet couldn't find anything wrong. She said the area did look a bit red but she thinks this was only because of him licking. The anal glands were fine. She thinks its most likely an allergy which is causing itching (he gets this on his feet and lips sometimes too) and this is why he's licking. Also since he's been licking his bum, he hasn't licked his feet, so he may have transferred his anxiety from feet to bum! Just going to keep a eye on it and tell him to stop when he does it, like we do with his feet. He hasn't tried to do it at all since ive been home though so fingers crossed he might be over it.

Definately no smell there as I was rather close trying to empty them myself when I first noticed the licking. The area wasn't tender or anything either as he couldn't care less what I was doing. He was too busy chewing a toy. If vegetables are supposed help, Riley gets our left over vegetables about 3 times a week so thats got to be a good thing. As much as it sounds like a anal gland problem, he doesn't seem to be showing all the right symptoms besides the licking. It will be interesting to see what the vet says.

Got into the vet for 5.15 so we'll see how we go. We use drontal allwormers and I just checked and they do cover tapeworm. It looks like its his anal glands or an allergy related thing. If they are emptied by the vet once, does that then make it a regular thing that needs doing ?

Great photo's everyone. I haven't had time to take any yet due to a boring old uni report thats needs to be done, but hopefully I'll get some shots next week. I love looking at everyone else's shots though!

Well I haven't seen him do it at all tonight, but he does kinda look there as if its itchy or something and he wants to lick, but doesn't. Im going to try to get into the vet for tomorrow arvo to get it checked out just to make sure everything is OK.

I thought of anal glands. I even tried to do it myself but didn't have any luck. Riley didnt' seem to care at all so it wasn't hurting him at all which I thought it might if it was his anal glands being blocked. He has never had his anal glands emptied before though but now he's getting older maybe they need doing.. The only other thing I thought of was a allergy of some sort. He gets allergies in between his toes which causes them to itch and then he licks them excessively which then turned into a anxiety thing. I was wondering if he was getting some sort of allergy on his bottom, from rolling around the grass, but then I saw the mucous today and now Im not sure..

Riley has been liking his bum quite often lately. It seems he has some white muscous in his anus which I have only noticed today. (I did check when he first starting licking and there was nothing unusual there then) He is wormed reguarly. It doesn't seem to bother him in any way that he licks it every now and again. His stools are fine, no muscous in them and doesn't seem to have any problems going to the toilet. Any ideas??? Vets aren't open today, and I don't think its anything serious, but I'll book him in for Monday or Tuesday anyway just in case.

South Sydney - $45 - 50 for consultation

Two weeks today since you've been gone and your still very much missed.

Ive got a photo of Riley on the wall which my Dad took about 6 years ago. I've also got 2 frames which say "My Cat" and "My Dog" they have a few little photos I took in them. The rest of the photos I have are in little frames or stuck on my fridge, but they are a whole range of things like relatives, friends etc. Id like to get some canvas prints one day, but I just haven't got the "right" photo yet. With our wedding photography it includes a free engagement shoot, and for that we're taking Riley with us. So Im thinking Ill just wait and get some of those shots on canvas. They will be much better than mine.

The last picture of when she was little still makes me laugh cos her ears look so huge. Its so hard seeing her hutch everyday. And having 3kg of carrots in the fridge, becuase they were her favourite.
