Barrell of Monkeys...call me dumb... - 10/19/05 03:31 AM

Ok, so I saw the calendar submission with the glider in the barrell of monkeys and I've kind of seen talk about it in the forum. Question is...do they really play with them? Should I go buy Eddy & Flo some?

All 3 of my kids LOVE their monkeys!! I hang them around inside their "house" and tent..they love to pack them around, swat at em and play! Check them often to make sure they are not chewed up ..Badger and Bonnie don't chew on anything...but Pepsi..hehe we have to replace his monkeys ever so often! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Now see! I've been neglecting my little angels from fun! I'm going to buy some tomorrow! What do they do with them? Anyone have any stories? I know Eddy likes to play with those fake vampire teeth, is it just a plastic thing?

It's funny because I never expected them to want to play with a little piece of colored plastic but they actually love them to pieces! They hord them, bring them into their pouches one by one like they're stockpiling. In the morning I find them thrown all over their cage and outside too! They love trying to fit them into their little coconut hut. It's like a little puzzle to them trying to fit it in the right way. It's HILARIOUS to watch!!!

Oh yes, it's a fave! That was my pic of Jeepers in the calendar and let me tell you, it was one of our early tent times, and she was having a blast! In the pic, it looks like she might have been crabbing, but she wasn't, that was a truly joyful expression! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Some of them will actually open the little barrel they come in to get the monkeys, but I usually set it in there already open or hang them around the cage. I've heard of gliders carrying them with their tails, but alas, my girls aren't tail-carryers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

they carry them around, attack them, snuggle them, and try to fit them through the mesh of the cage all the time..

Mine all play with the monkeys, but don't carry them. What Porky LOVES to carry is the plastic shower curtain rings and those little round link things that they sell in the baby department at WalMart.

Gizzy is a thrower...he loves these little plastic golf-sized balls with holes all over them big enough for him to stick his hands in and actually fling it across the cage...then he runs after the ball and "tackles" it lol....soooo easily amused he is.....

I'm so glad I read this...I actually just bought barrel of monkeys tonight and I can't wait to see what happens.

I'm actually watching my babies eat right now and do some playing in between.

I also bought those plastic baby keys, and baby links, and some other toy...with crazy legs. lol! Anyway....I hooked the links together...one chain is hanging from on of their bars and the other is linked across the cage. The one that's linked across is where I hung some monkeys, about 5, the rest are in the barrel still.

I can't wait to see where they all end up in the morning!

Well poo, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/upset.gif" alt="" />
my girls never play with their monkeys!
Felix plays with his, but the girls pass right by them without a backward glance. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nixweiss.gif" alt="" />
Maybe they need more time?

Awe! Maybe they will get interested, you never know!
Mine scatter them all about! I feel like I'm picking up after toddlers when I go to hunt them down to wash!
I also have invested in a baby's mobile with zoo animals (stuffed), it attaches to the top of a crib with a clippie, and it just fits through the cage spaces. Big likes to swing on each and every animal!
But they really love their monkeys!

My kids ADORE their monkeys! I have to pick them up EVERY morning & hang them back up - Stewart Little's favorite part is the barrel! He loves to get inside & make it roll around on the cage floor! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif" alt="" />

Ok, I'm gonna hafta advertise for a competitor here! LOL! My favorite thing is the Playstation from Glider Daydreams! I won one at the SGGA and it is sooooo cool - it has like a billion things to do on it!

I also like to put lil army men & plastic jacks in there for them to play with.

Plastic cookie cutters!

Hmmmm...

I dunno - I always paruse the baby section - I have this Winnie the Pooh thing with swirlys & beads & they like to move the beads around & climb on it. (great description, I know!)
