Finnegan LOVES the Treadmill

Tonight while it was stormy and I was waiting for the hubs to come home so we could go and forage for food I decided there was no time like the present to test out the treadmill and the critters.  Madison and Clooney were sleeping, Emma was hiding from the rain....Nigel was in his cage

But... I was able to start it and have a few of the critters check it out.  Oliver is a weenie - afraid of it.  Phoebe did not want to get on but was very fascinated by the words that are printed on the belt - she tried to get them every time they went by. Zoey got on and walked - she was not all that impressed and promptly got off.  Aggie said no thank you. 

Violet was fine with being put on the treadmill and she walked a little.  She was not afraid but she wasn't all that interested.  And then there is Finn.  Wow - he LOVES the treadmill.  First - he lays underneath on his back and moves is feet as the belt goes by - what a dork.  If you put him on the belt he walks - but he gets so excited he starts jumping around like a freak and falls off.  When he gets on there by himself he walks and walks.  I can't wait to break out the video camera this weekend and try to capture.  It's pretty cute.

I also want to try putting Nigel on there - I think he will like it since he runs marathons on his wheel - we will have to see.  Stay tuned - video and pics coming soon....
