My Pouchie Diaries #12 In todays episode I show you how a Gambian trashes his cage over night. What is poop bowl looks like first thing. He has had a habit of taking his food bowls or plates into his litter tray that he has started to use as a larder for his fresh food. I didn't realise that he was on top of his bed and i woke him up. He is just so adorable when he wakes up and always in a good mood. Im hoping he stays that way as he grows up.

My Pouchie Diaries #11 in todays episode Hades is being a very chilled out little man. At times hes being a little naughty trying to get onto the radiator behind my bed but most of the time he is being a sweetie pie. As you can see on my legs and arms are some scratches and they are all from Hades just playing or climbing on me. He has a habit of running up behind me and jumping up onto my back and sticking all 4 sets pf claws into my back and he just slides down. I will have to get some pictures or footage of them all.

My Pouchie Diaries #10 Hades is such a funny little ratty when he gets into his cat tree. The first thing he does is have a sniff and then go insane for a minute or so and that's his mommy I want to play with you indication. Pouched Rats love to play fight with each other and with there owners. The downside is that there teeth and there claws are extremely sharp which is why I am covered all over my body with scratches. His claws will easily go through thin material and scratch your skin. And as they love to climb all over us we end up with them everywhere. It is a small price to pay for the love of one of these beauties Thanks for watching and if you’re feeling generous please consider hitting subscribe or the Join button it will help build our channel and community.

My Pouchie Diaries #9 This is how Hades is every time I wake him up. He is a very happy, loving and licky little boy. He loves to clean himself and does so many times a day. For some reason Gambians seem to prefer to clean themselves before they come out for free roam and Hades isnt the only one I know that does this. Gambians need at last an our outside there cage daily and you will need to factor in there pre play cleaning time into that free roam time. In the video he is 12 weeks old at the time of uploading this he is 14 weeks old. It is amazing how fast he is growing and how much he is changing daily. I noticed yesterday how pointy his face is becoming and how blonde that he is compared to in this video. I need to get him weighed as he is getting a big lad now. I hope you enjoy this episode.
