jellyb100 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 This weekend I rang around until I sourced a shallow tubtrug to match my eglu, bought some playsand, added compost and lice and mite powder and then put it in their enclosure. No interest at all! I put Penny in and she pecked it once then fell backwards out of it, Frankie did the same and Doris flapped out in a very freaked out way. I've tried demonstrating but they are still not getting it! I know they should love it as the are forever digging holes to squeezethemselves into and wiggle in in the run. Do you think they'll ever get the message?!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
