Re: He's running around and hoping now
He is a cutie pie. He looks to be about 6 weeks?
He is still too young to be out running around. His bushy tailed momma would kick his a$$ if he left the nest at this age.
Can you show a picture of the cage you are talking about. At this age I do put mine in a cage, but the size is 12 x 14”. They have a ~2” stick about 4” off the floor so they can practice balancing. I also hang a small hammock and leave plenty of fleece for them to chose either to sleep.
