Hi,
Hope all is going well on here.
I've not been on for a while since I was last after advice
Our boy (R-fur) spends up to 12 hrs a day during the week in his cage. During winter he's happy to 'hide' in his igloo keeping warm. Over the last couple of weeks he's kicked this over as he likes to lie out flat.
We've now bought him a much bigger cage (Ferplast 100 two tier) so that he can have his night time sleeping place and a daytime 'lounging' area.
When we're not at work he has the run of the house and can always hop back in for the toilet or whatever he needs.
We've built his new home and are leaving him to get used to it - there are a few treats to entice him in but whilst he's taking an interest (smell of choccy drops etc) he's not been in on his own yet - I did put him in much earlier and he did manage to get out.
What do you experts think? Shall we just leave him until he's happy with the new home by himself or should we 'force this issue' and just replace his old home with the new one.
Oh, whilst he was in there he did use the toilet so he's christened it and hope it smells like home :lol:
Any advice would be much appreciated
