    Do your BP's do this?

    I was watching opera explore her cage tonight and she seems enamored with the door. She likes to slide up it and the walls especially by the side where it slides open and air can flow.


    Do your BP's do this? I wonder if there is a care need associated with it or if it's simply her exploring.

    Dasia, my #1 Ball, does that when she roams. I always just consider it an escape attempt and/or exploration. Maybe the cool glass of her tank helps her cool down?

    maybe because that is where the outside scents and smells are coming in...

    It could It's just so funny she loves to crane her body waaaay up in the air at night till she falls over. I always sneak down and try to be quiet so I can watch her.

    Sounds like she's doin some extensive exploring . My corn does the same, craning her body till she falls from her vine to the substrate *facepalm*

    She is testing the limits of her cage, looking for a way out. She should stop doing this in a week or two.
