Turned out he bought the wrong cable :') and he can't return it, because he bought it "for the company" and Poland sucks with returning anything by companies, only consumers, which means natural person.... ugh, so annoying. So we have an additional cable. Good thing is, he checked for the cable we actualy need, it's super cheap, so we just need to find it...
yeah, but what is a crackling tube anyways? XD I have no idea what to google, really. I feel so dumb. For now I got rid of all the unnecessary cables (yes, there were some that weren't connected to anything, stupid me didn't notice earlier) and I curled the only left one under bf's 5kg weights (it was a
really long cable), and I tried to keep all the cables in my eyesight. So now if I hear them, I'll start blowing raspberries at them again (sometimes it works, but not always, this experiment is in progress, lol). I have to figure out a way to let me know they're in Ash's cables again... Or try to prevent them from going there.
I just read on rat lovers forum that someone used a nail polish thingy for preventing biting on the nails, on the cables, and the rats don't bite them because it's bitter and ewy... I just don't know if it's really safe that much, don't want to risk it. Anyways, I have some options, just need to try something out finally.
Oh, and one more adventure today. I accidentally left the door slightly open. And surely enough Candy had to take the opportunity to flee to our kitchen and take a tour behind all the furniture, where there's plenty of dust and spider webs and what not... I tried to lure her out with a banana, but the dust was too interesting apparently.
Tila would've killed herself while running for that banana tho, not complaining at all, just sayin' 
So after that I had to bathe her. Of course it was a war, but she's more a coward than a fighter. So when I finished with her, I thought, hey, Cotton stinks already, why not bathe her as well, hopefully Candy won't think she was bathed as a punishment (it was necessity, truly, her paws were covered in dusty webs...
), so I took Cotton in.... and she was a fighter
So I didn't get to use the soap, just washed her (barely) with water only and dried her with a towel, but ended up with my hands really stinging (she's a kickboxer or something x.x). Good thing it's nothing deep, but still, I had to disinfect my whole hands. And at least I found some things under granny's sink that I had no idea existed there and packed it to trash. She hoards everything, ugh.
I was pissed an hour ago, but now I'm really just proud of the cable arrangement I've made XD I have no idea why they were all dragged behind the sofa (other than esthetic look that my grandma values over her own life
Things must be nice on the eye and good on the ear, no matter how ugly it is in reality, and I mean social relations as well. Wow, this is turning into a huge rant about everything). So, what was I saying...? Ah, yes, now at least the cables are watched over
Oh, one funny bit, I was telling Ash how they barely even tried to chew on my laptop's charger's cable (the part that goes to the socket, not to teh laptop), and Candy was nearby, right? So I was examining the cable and telling him it was almost untouched, then I looked at Candy, and she chewed a chunk of the cable right on my eyes! Cheeky!
See? Not mad. I think I cooled off when Candy was begging me to stop bathing her XD I love her sqeak for mercy

), although I did let down that phone wire they ate into their cage last night (Candy went nuts, despite 8 fucking hours of running outside 
Once you understand they can't help their nature, you don't really get that mad, you just wonder how you can protect your treasures and keep your babies XD It's like eating a cookie and keeping one at the same time. But somehow people do it. and I don't lack motivation to keep them. Unlike Ash, I do understand that if he will keep leaving that phone charger on the floor and I won't notice, he'll finally lose it 
I always lack sleep, pets or not.
