Last night we discovered some less than solid poo in Horatio’s cage and his bum was a bit messy, we cleaned him up and this morning took him to the vets. He’s fine today and his bum is as clean as a whistle, so it could have just been a random runny bum (we were scared it was wet tail - very serious for hamsters!). He’s fine now and making a mess of his cage and the surrounding area by moving all his sawdust in some crazy nesting procedure!
Horatio has reached an incredible 700 miles in 239 days which is an average of 2.92 miles a day. It’s a lot less than the estimated 4 or so that we thought he would do, old age is slowing him down. He’s not been a fan of the few heat-waves we’ve had in London this summer either.
He long ago reached Scotland, the 2nd of the 2 countries he will visit on his long journey to John O’Groats (unfortunately the map of his route isn’t working, and I don’t know how to fix it! DOH!). Along the way Horatio has been enjoying his fair share of whiskey, haggis, neeps and tatties. Even with all his running those deep fried Mars Bars are really starting to show and if we’re honest he’s becoming a bit of a big lad!
Only 157 miles to go until he reaches his goal now (I reckon 50-60 days now) - watch this space!
