Default Re: My long haired syrian never comes out!

Well last night when I cleaned him I discovered something interesting! As I’ve mentioned when he does actually come out it’s rarely for long and he clambers home pretty quickly.

His cage is inside a big pen and when I first got him and he did want to come out more he used to go behind the cage..but I found it difficult to reach him so I blocked the sides of the cage so he couldn’t go behind it.

Last night for the first time in ages I unblocked the sides..and voila..he stayed out for over an hour….mostly behind the cage but he was scenting…washing…and just relaxed.

Periodically I would pick him up for a cuddle and put him at the far side of the pen so he had to go through all his toys to get to the sides again..which he happily did.

He seemed to enjoy it more and twice I put him near his steps up to his cage (essentially the cage door) and he clambered back down in to the pen!

That was so good �� �� we both enjoyed him so much..hubby had cuddles too!
