Re:Hedging for Higher Ground - 2007/12/18 08:33
I stand corrected. I had to shift my little one from her big house (~47" x 22") to her vacation cottage (~24" x 18") on Sunday for a few hours while I was fixing up her big one. I thought I'd just pick up my sleepy little hedge from under her blanket in the big one and set her back down under her blanket in the little one. But it was not to be. Sweet sleepy baby turned into rampaging diva. And she climbed the walls! Went straight for the corner and hoisted herself up, up, up! Diva hedge can CLIMB!
After trying getting her off the walls a couple times, I put her wheel in hoping she'd burn off her energy more safely. And she wheeled during the day under bright light with the tv on (she's usually such a closet wheeler - has to be silent and very dark). She crazy wheeled: she had three legs on the wheel and one still on the cage floor and was running like that... with three legs. After awhile, she pulled all her legs on board and practically ran up the wheel itself so she was more vertical than horizontal while running.

Too bad he's so clumsy, if it weren't for my hand constantly supporting his round little rear-end he probably would have had a concussion by now with all the times I've caught him when he would have fallen. And he just keeps on climbing, as if he thinks he gets all the way up there on his own!
