It's apple season - time to make crisps and pies! That leaves a lot of apple peelings, which means Echo (our guinea pig foster from Dakin Humane) gets what I call "apple streamers." I hook pieces of peelings around the cage, then Echo has to find them.
Not too many - I don't want to give her a tummy ache from eating too much apple. I tuck a few around the top edges of the cage. I've done this enough times that she runs right to the usual places I hide them. Occasionally she needs to follow her nose to locate them. This last time was tricky - I put one in the corner where it usually goes and hooked another from a binder clip nearby. Echo quickly found the one in the corner and could still smell the second apple peel. She kept looking in the corner... but it wasn't there!
Piggy persistence at its best.
Success!
That is so cute! Keeps her on her toes. lol
