Bottle Haven

   
As you know, if you have just females living together, now and then they get a little frisky, shall we say?  Or, rather, one of them induces the others to be frisky?  This is a lot of fun for everybody involved as they chase each other around the cage.

Well, almost everybody.

It occurred to me that what sparked it was when the inducees could smell her rear end, so what she needed was…<blink!>… a small bottle to crawl in and turn around in.  All the other females get is her cheery face poking out of the opening and the chase is off.

As it happens, the medium-sized jars for Taster's Choice are just perfect.  They're flat on the front and back so they lay down nicely and feel stable.  I soaked mine in soap for a few days, ran it through the dishwasher twice, then put some bread and cheese in it and re-capped it for a few days, to get the coffee smell out.

They all seem to use it at one point or another.  Either because they're tired of being chased around, or they feel like snugging up and going to sleep, or they want to munch on a treat in private.

Update Note:  The dipshits at Taster's Choice, Inc., have changed to bottle to some horrid plastic thing, so I guess my suggestion would be to just walk through the grocery store until you see a flat-sided bottle about the right size.
