One where she can climb 4 to 5 feet up and sit on a ledge high up? It seams she likes being high up.

    He’s done all of this sans the much larger cage. He’s added perches moved stuff, moved cages.
    It’s been going on for at least a year on and off.

    The cage situation for him right now is tough. He moved around with work a bit and is living single.

    Maybe when he plants his roots he can build something big.

    T-65 is excessive but maybe needed for this girl.

    I get it. Being on the road with pets is tough. I am grateful that I am not on the road with all my zoo. I am working on something big. Cant wait to reveal after done in a couple of months. I am keeping it modular so I can move it when I find a house that was not hurt by last years hurricane. Just brain storming trying to help.

    I wonder if live plants would help. It did with my grumpy super fire BP.

    Lets just say I can put a kiddie pool inside for Rainbow and she will have plenty of room to move around and climb. She thought her cage was larger when I first got her. Now it is time for amazing. Having so much fun.

    You aren’t going to believe this. She had free run of an entire room for the whole night... she’s still in the same spot on top of the cage stack and hasn’t moved. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...52f44fb01a.jpg

    I believe it. She wants to be up high as I suspected. She needs a taller cage with a shelf to perch on.

    Excellent.
    She also doesn’t look as huge as I thought she was.
    Maybe she doesn’t like AP caging lol.

    Seriously though something must be bothering her inside or entertaining her inside.
    I’m going to watch the first Ace Ventura Pet Detcive movie and see if I can find an answer 👍

    Seems to be the case. There’s no way I can do a 6’ tall cage though. Maybe 4’. Jeez... I’m gonna have to think hard about this. I love the hell out of this critter but my god, she’s more work than a damn dog sometimes

    Lol relative to a small bedroom she doesn’t look big. Get her back in her cage and she looks enormous. She might really need a 6’x3’x4’ but Jesus Christ that’s a big ass cage!

    Get a book shelf that is 5 feet tall. Secure the shelves and cut a path for her to climb on. Put a glass door on the front with hinges. Home depot has the glass sheets that would work. Cut most of the shelf away so that she can see down between the layers. Cheap, lightweight, and efficient. Just make sure the shelves are at least 18 inches deep and I think she will be fine her size.
