Does anyone else's Chinese have this problem?
Since I adopted Tinky I've noticed he has a peculiar habit with ramps and elevated things. He refuses to go up ramps PERIOD. He'll start up just a few steps and then stop and has never made it up the ramp in his cage to my knowledge (he's probably doing that when I'm not there :P ).
At first I thought it was just too steep so I lowered it but he refuses to go up it, even if I put some of his food on the higher rungs he'll still climb the wire bars up and go across the platform and SLIDE down the ramp thus knocking his food into his bedding where he'll pouch it and wander off to eat it.
I had thought it might be that he'd never experienced a ramp before and with some exposure he'd get the hang of it but he hasn't
.
Or maybe he thinks it's a slide because he won't walk down the ramp either. He kind of lays on his belly and wiggles (like soldiers do when they're crawling to an attack) down the slide.
He does seem to like doing it or else he's afraid to walk down the ramp.
