Bath Time!

I love it!!

I took your suggestion and made some frozen veggie treats for Sammy like the ones that you made for Penry in your post last week! It was really easy and great! He still won't eat more than a mouthful, but everyday is a new opportunity!!

I used carrot, Spanish red/green bell pepper, celery leaves, broccoli, wholegrain rice, canary seed, kiwi and cherries. They didn't have any strawberries or raspberries when I went to the fruit shop, which is what I really wanted! (It turns out that kiwi and cherries don't freeze as well). Thanks again for the tip!

My mother inlaw has two budgies they have the normal bath but as is not unusual they prefer the drinking water holder.
I did have to laugh at the hen though she flew onto the cage side and let herself slide down the bars until her head went into the water.

Haha, I see Penry is a big fan of the veggie bath!
He looks really proud of himself in that 4th pic, thanks for sharing this little slice of Penry's life with us!

Too cute!!!!!

That's great! I'm glad Sammy will have access to a good variety of fruits and veggies even when they aren't in season. Probably some day soon he will be gobbling it all up

Haha, he does look proud! I can tell that he is really satisfied with himself when he completes his bath. The first time he had a bath like this I was really worried he was dying or having a seizure or something with the way he was thrashing about. He was just way too excited! Now I stand and watch him bathe every time he is doing it, it is just so adorable.

Me too! Too wet and they look miserable and pathetic, but medium wet to a little wet and they look adorable!!

Awww, little Penry looks adorable enjoying his bath!!
The pics of him drying off are totally cute, Chloe.
You've motivated me to go give Skipper and Scooter their bath dishes now.

Thanks, Deb. I love how he snuggles up to my neck when he is wet to stay warm. It is just so special. Hope Skipper and Scooter liked their baths! Do they cuddle up with each other or with you after they get wet?

Thanks! Yes, he makes a HUGE mess when he takes a bath. I tried putting his "bath tub" on a towel but then he won't go near it. I can't stand to close or I will get a bath myself
