My husband and I will actually play chase with him through the house. We’ll run (more jog actually) and he’ll catch us and a run circles around us then jump off on something nearby and go again. I have to wear a jacket for this or I’m bleeding from neck to knees. He usually jumps high enough to catch my shorts, but heaven forbid they aren’t long shorts and my thighs pay the price! This game started by accident after he kept following us to the bathroom. A squirrel running circles around you trying to bite and wrestle your hands in that situation is well... not exactly fun for mom or dad!! ��

Note: he can go from the end of the dining room to the end of the kitchen without ever touching the floor due to desk, cages, chair, kitchen bar, kitchen counters and then kitchen table. That’s his favorite track and several places he can pounce me if I’m not fast enough. We try to avoid areas that’ll put him scurrying around our moving feet for fear we could step on him.

We have a huge utility room so with cosmo (my 1st one) we turned that into his room and I would go in and hangout with him when I got home. we have dogs so we can't let them run in the house. ill definitely look up some toys and see what I can find. right now he has several little stuffed toys he wrestles with. he just has so much energy!! and my hands are the same way. I had to take a pair of my husbands long socks and cut them to fit like gloves to cover my arms when I feed him because he wants to climb me while he eats.
