Hamster Lookout Tower

This setup is the park layout, the stairs are made from matches and ice lolly sticks.

and the slide is made of pringle tubes that end on a soft bed of wood chips where he can also access his sand bath.

The image below is the lookout tower as it is right now. 

Here Scrappy my hamster tries out his look out tower.
The tower is made up from Aqua Pura water bottles,
I specially selected them because inside there are lots of grip points for scrappy to grip and i made sure there were nowhere for him to get his fingers trapped.
The lookout water container is glue gunned from the outside so he has no access to the glue even though my hamster is not really a chewer and never really gets stressed.
IMPORTANT is heated a metal kebab skewer and poked air holes all the way along the tubes and in the look out base.
I do plan to make him better look out but for now this is just a test.

please don't copy this unless you really care for your hamsters safety and know and understand how to make it as safe as possible.
This tower will not suit dwarf hamsters or Siberian hamsters that are younger than 2 months old.

Jurassic Scotch egg

Giant scotch Egg

I made a Giant Scotch egg using Lincolnshire Ostrich egg and Surrounded with Traditional Lincolnshire Sausage meat and bread crumb.
I had to improvise all the way to create this finished result, But everything worked out as i had seen in my mind.

1. I Boiled the Egg for 40 minutes  and then left to cool for about an hour with cold water.


2. Then i got a glass mixing bowl and lined the walls with plastic film and in went the sausage meat. 


3. Press the meat against the wall, right to the top of bowl.


4. Tap around the middle of the egg lightly and keep turning, eventually the egg will start to crack, so remove all the shell.


5. Place the peeled Egg in the middle of the meat and then pull the film around the egg and work it into a ball.


6. Cover the meat with olive oil then roll in bread crumb slowly and carefully.


7. Preheat Oven at 210 or 190 Fan assisted 


8. Carefully lift into Roasting Bag and place on oven dish then onto middle shelf of oven.


9. Cook for 35-40 mins then carefully tip onto another oven dish to flip over to enable to cook other-side, for 30 more minutes.


10. Remove the Roasting film and leave to stand for an hour then put in fridge until cold.
