Default Re: Henry and Gordon

A quick tip i wanted to pass on.

I have two identical houses (Ferplast guinea pig house) for Henry so when i have to clean his cage i put Henry plus house plus some of the nest and hoard in a transport box. I keep the clean part of his nest back separately.

I clean his cage and put everything back exactly where it was before or he'd throw a tantrum and put the second house with the old nest plus fresh and a little of the old hoard plus fresh hamster mix back in so everything is ready for him.

He usually goes back in his house while waiting in the transport box and the house in the cage smells of him because i alternate them.

I find that as long as Henry has one of his houses to go into he's alright waiting and doesn't get too stressed.
He's not exactly happy to be out of his cage when it wasn't his idea to come out but he tolerates it......as long as i hurry up and don't keep him waiting for too long.

Here he is in the transport box.
