Cage Makeover

Since the weather is still quite cold, I've decided to spice up Rex's cage a bit.
I purchased a couple of pet blankets at a two dollar shop, and used it to lay his cage floor. Newspaper can get a bit slippery for him at times.

Rex loves his new flooring! He approved of my decoration by flopping down and stretching out. =)

The Start of Semester 2

One week of the second semester has already gone by! Nothing much has happened...yet.
I'm quite happy with my results from last semester, although I am hoping to do better, especially in physics, which was my worst subject. xD

All the lecturers are okay so far too. Now I just hope the tutors are good. *fingers crossed*

Rex is booked for the vet this Tuesday. I might have to miss an hour of uni, depends on if my sister have work or not.

Rex is sick again...

About a week ago, I noticed that Rex has been eating very little hay. After some careful observation, I realized it wasn't Rex being cheeky. You see, Rex wants to eat the hay, the problem is that, he can't.

He is eager for hay, but it seems he can't take it into his mouth. This is very worrying. I researched online, and I am certain that the problem probably lies with his teeth. It could be molar spurs, where his molars aren't wearing down evenly which prevents him from chewing normally. So now, Rex can only eat pellets. The poor thing...I bet he is in quite a bit of pain as well.

I have to get him to the vet before he stops eating altogether.

Two down, one more to go

Wow, time really flies eh?

I only have one more exam, chemistry, before I am liberated for this semester at last! =D I seriously can't wait, it's a whole month of freedom!

For my previous two exams, biology of cells and organisms, and physics fundamentals, were alright. I was far more confident about biology than physics, which I hope I can pass. xD
During the two days on which I had those two, the examination hall was freezing, and I am not kidding. I wore as much as I could, but clothes only helped so much. Three hours and fifteen minutes of sitting still was enough to make my lips turn purple and I left the hall with chattering teeth. Gah....I can't perform my best when I am very cold (or hot for that matter).

*sigh* I just wish on the day of my chemistry exam, the weather would be more accommodating.

Sugary Treat

Today I gave Rex a grape for the first time ever.
Usually he is cautious towards new fruits and vegetables so I wasn't expecting him to eat it. But to my big surprise, Rex only sniffed it once before devouring it!

While eating the grape, he makes those slurping noises - it was really cute! After he finished, he licked up all the grape juice on the floor of his cage. Heheee! I'm glad he enjoyed his special treat! ^^

Now because grapes are quite sugary, I am going to give it to him sparingly. I should try strawberries some day. Once I tried banana, but he was petrified of it! xD
