Toothless got a real fright this evening, he was trying to do a U turn under his old halflog hide and managed to get himself stuck , looked very tight and uncomfortable.
I had no choice but to pull him backwards by the tail to get him unbent and back out.... he didn''t like that all .... hissed once at me when I had him out on my chest and even gapped aggressively at me (he's never done that before !!) - thought I was in for a serious bite from him but he didn't bite me and after my comforting him on my chest for about 15mins the
black beard was gone and he was relaxed and back to his normal self.
Puff did a similar thing a couple of times when he got too big for the same hide.
So Toothless has now got an A4 size mailing box as a makeshift hide and I've removed the old hide (back into storage), and looks like I don't have a spare jumbo HubbaHut (I was sure I had another one set aside in storage in the buffet), so I've ordered one for him.....
He's not impressed with the cardboard box temporary hide but I don't want to risk him getting stuck under his hide again.
He went straight into it at one end and crawled about inside it for about 10mins and came out the hole in the other end, and has refused so far to go back in of his own accord.... will probably have to put him to bed in it when I go to bed , I might have line it with a bit of paper toweling so it feels "right" to him maybe.
10pm and he's still up and giving me the stare , then Peppa and Rex are still awake too.
