Hello,
I have a new 3 month old Jackson and this is our second day having him.
Today I noticed that he has been trying to climb his mesh cage and every time he tries he falls, I was worried that he would hurt himself so we re-arranged the plants, and I also put down a towel for a cushion in case he falls again so he won't hurt himself.
He has fallen about 4 times (give or take) in a hours time, He seems to be 100% fine except for getting upset every time he does it and turning himself black lol

I have read up on this and it's said to be normal and not to worry because they puff themselves up when they fall, But I wanted to see if anyone else out there is having the same problem??

Hopefully he will stop in a few days! lol

Is there anything other than screen near the bottom he can climb on?
