Hello, it's the newbie again...lol. I was just looking for some tips and ideas as to what I should be putting in chip's cage. I think he's about 9 wks now. He's very ative and agile and makes a mess all over his cage with his food. I keep him in a parrot cage, so it has the pull out tray at the bottom to make cleaning easier, but I've been keeping towels & blankets in it for bedding, so I'm cleaning those out all the time.
Also, I noticed today that he has chewed the cord on the heating pad I had for him. I thought it was arranged so he couldn't get to it, but I guess not. So, I have removed it. I'm assuming that since he looks like a little adult that he doesn't really need it anymore anyway?
He has toys hanging from the top of his cage that he can hang & climb on and I added a long piece of wood for him to sit and run along. I covered it with a tube sock for better traction. The cage came with holders for the food dishes & after drinking, he uses the water dish as a potty(is that normal?)
I'm just wondering, do I really need to keep all that bedding in the bottom for him & just keep cleaning it or would rigging up some sort of hammoc or something for him to sleep in be enough? Sort-of like a ferret hammoc? Maybe then he'll be less likely to get food all over his bedding and I could just use the pull-out tray for cleaning.
Hehe..he's funny. I have his cage open at the moment and he is running in and out...in and out and all around....lol.
Thanks!
