lizbeth Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Miss Hetty and Delilah have now ventured out and seem to have settled a bit better into their new home. They have been fine all day and suddenly I heard a lot of squaking and Delilah has started pacing (manically!) across the end of the run by the door. Just wondered if anyone has experienced anything similar and if I should be worried? Thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 It's called emotional blackmail. They will still do it if you give them 3 acres - there they will be by the gate pacing up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgies Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Sounds like she's either asking to come out or maybe she's spotted something she really wants to get at or investigate, in which case - well, I guess she's asking to come out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkypie Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Mine pace and make a bit of noise when I first go into the garden when I get home and they want to be let out to free range. I just built a run extension and they still do it - only the whole garden will content them it seems They settle down after a couples of minutes. If you've only just got them it could be they're not settled into their bedtime routine yet? The first couple of days after mine arrived there was a bit of commotion at bedtime bcos they weren't sure where to go to sleep. Also as it gets dark they can easily get spooked by shadows etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
