I put a mirror in with my youngsters along with a teddy to snuggle up to

As for treats I give them 2/3 dried mealworms, which helps get them really hand tame

My babies are 4andahalf weeks. Their favourite favourite favourite is the dried mealworms and they will sit anywhere I ask them to to get them... hand, head, you name it!

They also love anything on the plant, so I reckon some millet might be a good idea. Please let us know if they like it!

I give mine some big stones or logs, they love to get up higher than their brothers and sisters

For eating treats what about chopped up hardboiled egg, that always goes down well and shredded lettuce is a favourite too.

OO I forgot to say, they will mug anyone for the cheapest currants you can find
