TWIX Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Hi, Twix has been living in a small cage since i got him about a month ago. The cage was half the size of the one i just bought him. I was thinking that it may scare him off and that he may take sometime to accept it. It took me half an hour to assemble the cage, and then i took Twix on my hand and introduced the new cage to him. Surprisingly, he jumped quickly on the cage and started exploring the new castle i got him :cool: He now has food on top of the cage and inside the cage, he didn't stop eating for about an hour and he tried both locations He is now a much happier Grey ... Here are some of the photos i took just now:
TWIX Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 I know the cage needs toys now and this is what i will do tomorrow.
Luvparrots Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Very nice photos!!!!! Twix certainly looks very content and happy!
judygram Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I'd say Twix quickly gave it his seal of approval, probably wondered what took you so long to upgrade his quarters, thats a nice cage and with the addition of some good toys what grey could resist, you did good.
Talon Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Beautiful cage and gorgeous pictures! He loves his new cage!
CharlieB Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Nice cage, how big is that, Twix is so lucky. I heard Greys are afraid try out new things, but not Twix, congratulation. Can't wait to see Twix new toys . Did you make the swing that's inside the cage. I just made for mine a similar one, but my rope is not that big. I can't find any safe ropes that big at my local stores.
Julia Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Lucky lucky Twix!!! Very nice cage! I'll have to buy for my baby a new cage too. I was looking for something like yours.

I didn't make the swing, i bought it from a pet store but i promise i will use my tools soon and make Twix some interesting things You will see a photo of the swing shortly.
TWIX Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 And here are the toys i bought for Twix today, i had hard time choosing:
TWIX Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 This how the cage looks like from the inside now:
TWIX Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 I didn't want to buy him more toys, as the cage will be busy and Twix will have little room to move. I introduced the new toys to him and he is very curious so far, still watching him. The cage is open with all the toys in, Twix is only interested in the toys hanging down from his new perch, completely ignoring the other new toys. I have noticed a lot of change in his behavior since i got him the cage and the toys, so he doesn't make the baby sounds any more! I think he looks a lot happier now and he looks like he's got a million things to do
TWIX Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 Hi again, i was wondering if the toys in the cage are enough. Do i need to add more or this is just fine?
judygram Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 You might hang another one or two from the top of the cage, smaller type ones to give him plenty of choices and do rotate them out for other ones to give him some variety to keep him from being bored.
CharlieB Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Thank you for a closer look of your swing, I thought it was wood dowel. It looks a lot better compare to mine. The toys are really cute, I bet your grey will love them
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 TWIX LOVES his new cage! A very important step. GREAT progress. Nancy
aerial.2000 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 cage looks great its the exact same as the one I bought for marco cept mine is dark slate gray in color
Julia Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 It's a very nice place for your fid! You could put one-two wooden shredding toys. Wooden toys always keep busy my little lady. She destroys them very quickly but enjoys every minute!
