tiggerlady Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Why is it that whenever I clean the girls out(usually Thursdays) then I come in Friday lunchtime and look out at the girls ,they have pulled all the newspaper out of the house and had a jolly good go at shredding it??? Their bed is bereft of paper and hemcore now..so why are they soooo ungrateful~?Did I not turn the sheets down properly or shake the duvet enough? Treats are for afternoons ,so perhaps its annoyance and they want them earlier.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 It is nesting behaviour. Maybe they don't care for the journalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggerlady Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thank you..hadnt thought of that.mind you it was The Sun Nuff said! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thank you..hadnt thought of that.mind you it was The Sun Nuff said! Funny you should say that. We never buy The Sun because a/ it's pants and b/ they told a pack of lies about the Liverpool fans looting bodies at Hillsborough and it's an unwritten rule that any self respecting Liverpudlian who is able to read words of more than three letters buys a different paper. My in-laws gave me some papers to use in the poop trays and hubby was laughing at me because I wouldn't use the copies of The Sun as it was too common for the chickens to be in contact with. What s"Ooops, word censored!"bery! I don't care though...hate The Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara.F Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 We used to keep guinnea pigs and I would save the pictures of terrorists, child killers, vile politicians e.t.c for my animals' latrine area Sad I know, but soooo cathartic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'll use any paper to line my girls poop trays with, they are not fussy who or what they poop on Mine are the same though, they love to pull all the shredded paper I put in their nest box, all over the place, the madams. I am going to buy them a childs dustpan and brush and they can clean up after themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well we don't buy newspapers at all I never get time to read them But when I clean out the guinea pigs using the newpapers our next door neighbour gives to me, it takes me 3 hours Can't think why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
