Re: Newt's thread
Sounds like Newt has been enjoying himself with all his digging, burrowing, exploring and sofa climbing, never a dull moment They always seem to want in the places that aren't safe for them lol.
Glad he's been enjoying his tasty tree

Re: Newt's thread
Newt sounds like really entertaining company at the moment though you cant take your eyes off him for a second. Love the tussle over the paper hat with the orange bits sticking out of his mouth. Naughty boy!

Re: Newt's thread
Newt is not happy with me this evening. Sigh. He is a good boy - he has been using the toilet in it's new location, so I emptied it. Unfortunately he is still peeing in its old location as well and still hoarding there. I know most of his hoard is under his nest elsewhere but he seems to have some organisation - some things get hoarded in a different place.
So I had to spot clean that area and decided to do it while he was in the cage this time as he didn't want to come out for a while last time I did it when he was out of the cage.
Unfortunately, as it's a sodden pile of substrate with intermingled hoard, I had to remove it and put new substrate in and some new food. Newt was really trying to see me off and kept sitting on it so I had to do it around him. He didn't nip me but sort of saw me off a bit with his nose.
Sigh. This started a few months ago when he started hoarding in his potty. Then it becomes an itch scratch cycle - if you take the hoard they pee on it to deter it being taken. So I then made his nest compartment larger so he had more room to nest and hoard. That worked and he does have plenty of room for nest and hoard and quite a bit of hoard in his nesting compartment. But he continued to put some in the potty and pee on it. It was after I emptied that out a while back that he made his feelings known about that and buried the potty! So I couldn't empty it.
I shall have to have a little chat with him - but he does his own thing - Charlie I managed to train not to do it by putting the new replaced hoard next to the potty. Newtie is a bit more independent!
Anyway good that he is using the potty in the new location, but will have to see what I can come up with regarding the peeing on the hoard. He is quite miffed with me tonight. And was trying to move bits out into his nest area while I was spot cleaning - so maybe the message has got through now!

Re: Newt's thread
Oh dear lol - never ending potty situation it seems. Guess he's just an independent little thing who likes his cage exactly the way he sees fit! Can't say I blame him too much lol!

Re: Newt's thread
Ha ha I know. I think he is drinking and peeing more in his older years as well. In future I'll spot clean when he's not in the cage - seems the lesser of the two evils. A minor change might change the habits I guess.

Re: Newt's thread
Well after 11 days of being sent to Coventry - he appeared at the cage door last night wanting to come out, and we are friends again! Trouble is the potty needs emptying! I shall give it a couple more days. His fur is amazing after all the linseeds! Thick and soft.

Re: Newt's thread
Aww, forgiven and friends again. Wish Maestro used a potty, he had 2 in his cage but prefers to create his own ensuite bathroom! Glad Newt is back to his handsome best.
