[YoDiggity]

You can always get Playmobil on Ebay and it's so robust and indestructible, you oculd stick it in a Dettol solution to make sure no germs.

[Quoteunquote]

or just look up the specifications, and make your own, they are really fussy, which is why they always move in if you make the perfect box, ours are on small stilts, super insulated with two layers, and a double bendy entrance.

and they keep the garden pest free.

[Quoteunquote]

Get her a couple of hedgehog habitat boxes, they will soon move in, we have a webcam in ours so you can watch them.

[mumofbeautys]

She will eventually need a transplant x

And we live in London x

[YoDiggity]

Where do you live? In a city? Which one?

[Sparklymommy]

Have you considered a bonsai tree? You could make a little garden in a globe for her to tend to.

She sounds adorable and clearly adores animals and farmyards. I hope you can find a way to give her something akin to her list. Is her health always as bad as it is now or could a trip to a farm be arranged when she is feeling better?

[mumofbeautys]

Yo dignity at the moment yes .. both my girls have cystic fibrosis . And hers has been severe leaving other complications at the moment her immune system is weak plus she needs her oxygen x we have no balcony or garden x

[YoDiggity]

Does she need to stay indoors a lot because of her health issues? She sounds like she is craving the outdoors.

Can you take her somewhere where she can do 'farming' without the livestock? Do you have a balcony for growing things?

[StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes]

here is a fur real piglet

[UniS]

when you don't have the space for a "real tractor" these are almost as good.bruder toys
Hours of play value. things work, like loaders, tipping mechs, telescopic reach arms AND the steering ( thanks to a sun roof and and removable steering wheel on an extension ).
My DS now age 7 still plays with his bruder tractors and trailers. moving stuff around. When he was given his telehander aged 3 he treated it like a pet.

[Mummytotwox]

Let's do it ;) ha

Thing is she does go riding every week, but that costs enough as it is ATM!

[ThisIsBULLSHIT]

You can get her a tree! DH got one for his godson once.
And a shovel.
And some giant African land snails! (Although they breed a LOT)
And a mud pit.

And maybe a chicken if you have space!

[youarewinning]

She sounds fantastic! I bet she'd love a farm themed room - can you get farmhouse type wendyhouses - you the know the ones that pop up? Sounds like she's imagining the outside world whilst she's inside poorly and you bringing it inside will be amazing.

[mumofbeautys]

Oh mummy between us we can open a farm lol

[mumofbeautys]

Lol Mrs thanks for that .. Don't think she's know that though but would be impressed lol

[Mummytotwox]

My daughter told me I was soo meannnn today and cried and hid away.. Because I would t buy her a real horse.

[MrsCakesPremonition]

Spades are for digging holes - they are vertical, smaller and sharp.

Shovels are for scooping up stuff like snow or manure - they are horizontal, large and wide with turned up sides.

[mumofbeautys]

I don't think there is a difference lol

[MrsOakenshield]

shovel and spade?? I am impressed that she knows the difference! (I don't. I know there is a difference, but not what it is. Different shape? Usage??)

[giraffesCantGoGuising]

A real tractor - that sounds fun

[mumofbeautys]

We can't go to the farm her immune system v weak at the moment and can't have furry pets x
What the fur toy pig things ?

[sandiy]

Oohh or a guinea pig I love mine they are lovely lovely animals and can live indoors.
