Sitting on the playgym I made for them. They still think it is great.

You should post a "How to" thread about making this playgym.

It sits on top of their cage, Barrie, so is high enough for them to feel safe, (too safe, as I have to chase them around the back of it when I want them to go home sometimes,

) and I notice they leave the insect screens alone now too.

Yes, Marianne, the teething rings are great, aren't they? I often use them for attaching things to the cage as well - toys etc, or those ring perches. I love them.

Smudge is very much queen of the coop, and cranky (often) with it. In short NO!

She tk's either of the boys if they come anywhere near her - Bluey moves off (he's one for a quiet life), and Sparky stands up to her. So I know who she is trying to move by the number of tk's she needs.

The two boys are close - poor Sparky just wanted to be friends with both when he got to join the others, and for some reason Blue accepted Sparky being close around him. JWith spring in the air here, Sparky has been smooching up to Blue and feeding him tid-bits, but over the weekend I noticed Blue getting a bit short with Sparky and almost chasing him away.

Smudge has been a lot nicer with me recently so I hope the boys find her that way too.

Target I feel. And think the first lot were from Big W. But any of those places in with the baby gear, toys. The last lot I got about 20 for $7-8. They are really easy to connect things to the top or sides of the cage, as they are not a whole ring, so they can be connected together to make a chain.
