Strange aversion to bedding - 2007/04/16 10:59
Okay, I'm not sure if I'm the only one who's experienced this particular little quirk, but here goes. It seems like Zelda really, really only wants to lie on the bare plastic bottom of her cage. I've tried carefresh, pine, aspen, and right now I'm on liners. I got a little nervous about the aspen last weekend, because it seemed like she was really trying to clear out a place under her igloo totally shaving free, and eventually went to sleep under the paper towels under her wheel. I did a cage clean, and lined the bottom of the cage with paper towels, with a liner over top, and an old t-shirt inside her igloo. Last night I found her underneath the liner, in a hole she dug through the paper towel so she could lie on the bare plastic.
So what's the deal? Is she too hot? Our apartment is usually a steady 75 degrees. I'm planning on taking her to the vet this week for a "well pet" visit, and I'm thinking I'll ask for some Revolution as well. Zelda has dry skin, and I'm wondering if it could be mites? Does she just love the smell of plastic? Maybe she's just a little loco  Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated!
