Omlet Hamster Cage For Sale Best Offer

Its the second full day that my girls have had access now to WIR & cube. I have left the eglu inside the WIR.

 

They have made no attemps themselves to hop up the ladder and go in the cube. Tonight while the light was starting to fade I played post the chicken into the cube, but they didnt seem to like it in there, and soon came back out, quite hesitantly understandably cause dont think have ever seen/used a ladder before.

 

They eventually got fed up of this game and took themselves off to bed in the eglu.

 

What do you think is best, take the eglu out tomorrow or Friday and when its getting dark put them in the cube and leave them overnight ?? or just leave them to eventually find it for themselves.

 

Any advice welcome please. Thanks xx

I'd take the eglu out tomorrow early on, so that if they want to lay then they have to try to get in the cube.

Help them to bed if needed, they'll soon get the hang of it.

I think still having the eglu in the run is confusing to them.

Oh I feel like evil chicken mummy today I have taken out their eglu so they have to use the cube.

 

Did post them through the cube pop hole showed them where the next area is, complete with a couple of eggies laid by them this morning so hope they get the message now. Although I reckon will be placing them in it to roost tonight. If anything its the ladder they seem to dislike the most. xx

At dusk, use a torch and shine it into the Cube from the back and they will naturally to towards the light, it's always worked with my dim newbies!!

I am off out running in a bit so will be dark when get back. Hopefully they will find their way up but will try a torch as suggested if they dont. Thanks xx

I must have the dimmest chookies ever, cause got back and they hadnt gone off into the cube, tried shining a torch but didnt budge, there were just hunched down in the WIR and didnt budge.

 

Had to pick them up and place inside the cube.

 

I hope they eventually take to it but its not coming easily to them.

Couple of days on and the girls are finally taking themselves off to bed, and laying egg where they should.

 

Have to say though they really dislike the cube plastic ladder so today hubby has knocked together a ramp for them instead, so hoping they will like this better.

Well done girls.

Mine don'e like the ladder, getting in is a mixture of jumping and flying, not eligant but does the job
