here's what I did today...
full cleaning of the cage.
used a 5% bleach/water solution in a spray bottle to spray down the cage.
then I hosed it down thoroughly. and again. and again. amy'be 15 min of hosing.
I treated cypress substrate with provent-a-mite as directed (thx andy)
let it try for about 1.5 hours in the sun outside, I fluffed it occasionally to make sure it was all dry.
before today she was on paper towel.
She hates it, wants to get out, is digging everywhere. She's never exhibited this behaviour before. Her hides are the same and they are in the same spots, as well as the water dish.
She looks freaked. Lots and Lots of tongue flicking.
She's been in there for 30 min.
Do I...
a)Leave her in it, and give her time to settle down.
b)Go back to exactly as I had it before.
I really really hope she is gonna like it the way it is, cuz the cage looks fantastic, but if it's gonna cause problems then out goes the substrate.
The wierd thing is that when I bought her she was on cypress, and for the first 2 weeks she was her she was on cypress. So she's been on it before.
I've never seen her dig before. I dunno, or may'be it's me. I wish she would settle down cuz she's gonna give me a heartattack.
