Return of the pudding swing
3 November 2013
Posted by on Since Atilla’s passing, her & Raspy’s favourite swing has been resting.
Phineas & Thomas had two swings in their cage, one by the side & one more in the middle. The one by the side was the preferred one for bedtime but the other was largely ignored. I decided to replace the ignored one with the ttmss swing.
Moments after I put it in, Thomas got on but his stay was brief. I think he was a bit confused by it. Fast forward a few weeks & Phineas decided to try it out. He also seemed unsure but gave it a few more chances. Now it is his favoured bedtime swing. I have seen him get on the other swing by the side but then get off & move to the ttmss swing & spend the night there.
One night there was a slight change in plan & Phineas did indeed sleep on the swing by the side & Thomas slept on the ttmss swing but it seems that was a one-off.
The swings are for bedtime. That is not some rule I imposed on them – they decided that themselves. Phineas will occasionally throw himself on a swing during the day but rarely stays for more than a minute.
Clearly there is something quite magical about the ttmss swing though as the other day Phineas was sat on it & then Thomas joined him! They were both sat on it! Looking quite comfortable I might add. The photos below bear witness to that.
