    Caught in the Act!! - Balls Escaping!

    Hi All

    First up let me wish you all a great New Year, and all the best for 2009!

    Right then. The missus and I were out for New Years last night and we had a blast

    Gothome at about 2.15am this morning and as usual I just popped a quick look to make sure all was well with my Balls.

    I noticed immediately that Delilah's glass window on her cage was open ever so slightly, I straight away had a closer look at her hides, and yup, as sure as water is wet, she was not here!! So after a bit of cursing and what have you and started to scout the room for her.

    Luckily my partner just spotted this little tail disappear behind a desk and when I pulled the desk out this is what I saw



    What a girl! Getting all tied up on new years eve, guess she wanted to have a party of her own.

    Now I remember closing her glass door before going out, but I guess it must have just been open enough for her to get her snoopy snout in there and force the glass open more. She definately knows there is a weak spot there cause after I put her back in her cage she immediately went bacl to the same spot where she escaped, no doubt looking to escape again...

    Anyone out there got pics or stories of their balls getting out, share them with us here

    Could be, she's smart little one there

    No risk of fire hazard there so no worries, just an extension lead wound up with 3 of points coming from it. Lateralus hit it on the head.... and my blood was actually running cold the second I saw her window open..... but then it went to hot cause she was not too happy of my finding her, and I did not fancy getting a nip.....

    He He, yeah

    I actually got a bit when I saw her curled round the cord, if I tried to pick her up she just tightened her grip, I did not persist with this as I did not want to hurt her.

    Here in South Africa we have a saying, " 'n boer maak a plan", which basically means that "we make a plan". So I tried just gently tickling her tail and getting her move forward bit by bit. Actually worked quite well as she just cruised out of that tangle within a few minutes.....

    She then gave me the look...... as I put her back to bed.....
