Don't forget Monty!

Oh I won't forget my little Monty

So cheddar started off with this food:
but it had loads of fattening sunflower seeds in so wasn't very good for him.
So I decided to change him to this food:

This is a lot more healthy and has pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds.
I also add these to his diet:


He still isn't eating all the food, he tends to leave certain bits so I have to leave it until it's all gone before giving more. Adding the natural touch food to his main mix helps with more variety so it's better for him

He also gets treats.
I recently got him some healthier ones like millet

A tremendous selection.
Though i can't see what he sees in it myself.

I'm hopefully going to add some fruit and veggies too just to make it that bit better.
Might even get a mineral liquid for his water- I'm obsessed.

I put bird vitamin drops in my squirrel's water. I only do a little bit to make sure they still drink. I highly recommend doing this every now and again. Monty is adorable. I suspected there was another cute critter in your home benefitting from all the love and attention you and your family give animals

Thank you
I'll probably get the vitamin drops when I take the water bottle back. I loved that water bottle but it leaked

Got him a living salad and he's already tucked in!

His little legs looked so funny
And here are some pics from his breakfast this morning.




And I was lucky enough to be given a handshake

Spud was climbing again yesterday:

And then he slid off...



(His lettuce is normally sunken to ground level but I think he had been digging and kicked it all away)

I love their pink tongues! Always trying to get mine caught with their tongues out. They are just so cute! Spud is adorable and great to see your post!❤️

Just looked through this whole thread. I'm a very big spud fan now. He is ADORABLE. I love his tiny pink tongue. Billy tends to hide his.
