Hi everyone- I hope you can help!
I moved Haffertee (my Syrian) to a zoozone a while back and he loves the extra space. However, he's started climbing up to the meshed bars (via his house, bridge or puzzle playground) and hanging from the ones nearest the opening of the lid whilst repeatedly chewing them. In the last week he's sustained a teeny cut on his mouth and a slightly bloody broken nail :( I've had to move the tall things in his cage so that he can't climb up and hurt himself any more! Why is he doing this? He has lots of stimulation in his cage plus ball time and plenty of handling several times a day. Is there anything I can do to prevent this other than taping over the exposed bars or sticking cardboard on them so he can't reach them?
Thanks in advance for your advice- he's cross that I've taken away his fun things for now but I just don't want him to hurt himself!
