Hello all!
I recently got my fourth g.p. and found all these wonderful resources on the Internet. Sophy's main home will be in my 5th grade classroom, but I like the idea of a more open space. One of my students had a pen and her g.p. loved it, so I'm looking into one of those for school. I'm not sure how the custodians would feel about the big C&C cage. (Actually, I know they would freak. )
I have a question about using sheves/perches. I purchased one at the store and installed at the lowest level I could. I put some alfalfa hay up there and placed Sophy on the shelf, but she ran right down the ramp. I tried this a few times and every time she ran down. She has never gone up the ramp to sit on the perch. Is there a trick to this? Do I need to just leave it and keep putting treats up there? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, and I look forward to participating in the group! I hope to get some pics of Sophy scanned soon.
