Well today is warm and sunny, and of course Charlie doesn't want to be in the house all day. I decide to re-arrange his enclosure 'furniture' and i peg up fabric in a few areas so he isn't in the full sun (the enclosure is topped with shadecloth but the walls are wire). As soon as i peg up one piece, he moves to sunbake in another area! I finally get three hot spots and he settles down in an area that has full sun, but long grass right in the corner. So when he curls up the grass is covering him.
Half the time i can't even see him because he's found a hiding spot
I let the grass grow inside the enclosure. That way he feels safe, it grows long around the edges to protect him and is good for munching, the rest is shorter. His favourite other spot is where i've lay scratching logs against a chair which he uses as a perch, and the long grass has grown over the main log so he looks like a jungle cat when he climbs to and from, poking his head through the long blades.
He's just so cute! I'm always re-arranging and finding better ways to make him comfy, so i hope when we move i can get it done as soon as possible because he won't like being locked up in the house, and i'm planning on extending.
Do you guys have any funny stories about enclosures or problems/transitions, anything you want to share.
