Morning's web breakfast is a minnow + churu + water

  • Scoop 2x day
  • Add a bit more sand if needed
  • Water fountain: Check if it is running and add fresh water every 3 days
  • Water bowl: add fresh water if you are not staying overnight (this is a backup in case fountain fails)
  • She likes to play a lot! Ideally 3 x for 15-20 minutes a day; favorite times always after eating
  • Most loved toys: mouse and worm (see below for pics) – but beware, string can hurt her, play with caution, don’t let toy lie around.
  • Soso-loved aka might play with it if nothing else is there: automatic ball inside the pinkish spaceship (needs to be recharged sometimes)

  • Teeth brushing: Use finger brush, 3x week or so
  • Fur brushing: she really likes it, ideally done every day
  • Belle sleeps often in bed (typically at one's feet by herself), sometimes she sleeps somewhere else by herself, such as on chairs, floor, inside tunnel, etc.
  • In the morning, she often comes to bed even if she did not sleep there: ignore her if she tries to wake you up in the morning, only pay attention when you stand up.
