So, I have moved into my new house and Drogo with me. Thankfully, my two roommates are just as in love with the little bugger as I am! A few days ago, one roommate was looking in his enclosure for him but couldn't see him. She yelled upstairs to let me know he was "MIA" and to see if I could spot him. I told her since his cage is so big, he can go unnoticed for quite sometime, even to a more trained eye. So I put a few crix in his feeder cup and decided if they weren't gone in 20 min, it was time to send out the search party. (Man, does he boogie down to that feeder cup almost as soon as I open the door to his cage). Well of course, 20 min later the crix were all intact, and I was in a panic! I've got one roommate on the counters looking on top of our shelves, one on the floor looking under the couch, table, fridge, etc, while I'm just scanning anywhere I can think to look. And that's when I see the shadow behind the curtain almost 30 ft from his cage! I whipped back that curtain and he was just like "Oh hay mom, it's adventure time, didn't you know?"
He's escaped two more times since then, but someone has been in the room with him to notice him on the outside of his cage. We have absolutely no clue how he's doing it, but I am planning on setting him up a nice little free range outside of his enclosure because he OBVIOUSLY hates his home. (If I'm not feeding him and open the door, he's almost immediately on my hand, just wanting out). And of course doing a very, very thorough inspection of current enclosure.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a behavior that should concern me more than amuse me? (I understand him escaping is dangerous, of course, but is this a sign that there is something wrong IN his cage? - There is absolutely nothing wrong that I can possibly imagine, at least everything is in accordance with everything I've read here.)
Hope this amused everyone and if anyone has any suggestions, I greatly welcome them!
