I think Waldo and I are finally meeting in the middle
I opened his cage today for him to have a little exercise and I always close off the room with a gate since I have dogs. He always goes straight to his hanging plant and contemplates the world. Nice view right
Anyway today he decided he would explore elsewhere. When I went back to check on him I could not find him. It had only been a few minutes but after looking he was back behind the cage on top of the 5 gallon bucket lid that holds my misting water trying to get up the vertical blinds. How the heck he got there I don't have a clue, there is nothing that leads to the bucket top. When he saw me he looked at me like "is there a problem". LOL. Anyway I got him And put him on his plant as you see in the pic above and about an hour later I came back in to put him back in the cage as he has now decided he does not want to go back on his own
So this time he was not near as reluctant to come to me and when I tried to out him in the cage he usually hi tales it but this time he just sat there and looked at me. So I slowly put my finger under his chin and rubbed it, I did this a couple of times and he did not object. Now I am not saying he loved it but hey that is progress
He finally went on his way.
Then I went to spray him with my hand held and he walked up towards me and came within inches from the spray bottle and just sucked in some water. Typically he drinks well but at a very far distance.
Anywho, sorry for the ramble and I know this does not sound like much but I was pretty pleased and excited that he is finally letting me into his world a little and what a beautiful world it is.
