It's various seeds Nicky - I get a great seed mix for sprouting from Rat Rations (it's by Versele Laga), plus I throw in some wheat, millet and anything else that takes my fancy. :) Then once they're growing nicely I introduce mice and mealworms, and watch the dirt fly! :P
They did enjoy it quite a bit, although they always need a bit of coaxing to leave the cage at first (except for Grace, who's mad as a hatter and loves a good adventure!).
I think I'll repeat the garden party tomorrow, as it was such a success yesterday!
X( Glad you all approve - the garden was a real hit with the girls. :) The seeds go mouldy eventually so I had to bin it, but I'll definitely be growing another one.
Yesterday we had a treasure hunt on the desk, with half a brazil nut as prize. Lots of fun, I'm glad to say, and very easy to set up, so long as you don't mind a bit of mess! I just put a bunch of toys and cardboard boxes on the desk, added a few mealworm pieces and one bit of nut, and then added mice! :P
