lou1988 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 My gray loves her toys at first she wouldnt go near them for about a week or so . Everytime i introduce somthing new she avoids it for days and almost goes in a little mood with m for putting it in ther lol. Then she crnt get enough of it once shes gotten used to it her favourite at the minute is her bell, got to say though its my least favourite along with the headache it brings lol As long as shes happy il deal with it till she gets bored n finds something new to play with haha . Am sure ur gray just needs time to get used be comfortable and adjust to find out what it likes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoepgoed123 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 aww, I'm so happy I've got a brave CAG... as long as I have it in my hands first, he'll play with anything... heck he demands that anything in my hands is his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Here's a good example of the flakiness of Greys when it comes to toys... I bought a couple new toys for Ellie yesterday - a kabob and a string of wooden balls with a bell on the end. I carried the toy with a bell past her cage (I had to get the scissors out of my office) and she was intently curious. When I returned, I showed it to her. None of the typical Grey fear of the new - she wanted it. Especially the bell. Once I held up the bell for her to see, she snatched it from me and wouldn't let it go... Ellie DEMANDED that I give her the new toy! by shyzaboy, on Flickr I had to attach the other end to one of the branches on the play-top so once she DID let go, it wouldn't go crashing to the floor. (Where the dogs would probably chew it up...) It is now in her cage so she can ring the bell for service... I may have to rethink the location of this toy... BUT... Ellie loved her previous kabob - she completely destroyed it. I showed her the new one and she growled and pulled away. I still can't get her within three or four feet of it without her freaking out. Weird critters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 It depends on the dogs, but one goal for us, is dogs and birds all get along.( depends on the breed!) While Max my senior Lhasa Apso, ruled the animal kingdom... he chose Sophie, to suceed him. I doubted his choice. He was quite firm about it. Sophie HAS taken over, and I have to say, has done a fantastic job! All birds and dogs get along. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) I mentioned the toy that was terrifying Ellie a couple of days ago. I've left it laying out on my desk (situated between me and her play-stand). Today she seemed less fearful, so I hung it on her play-stand. When I brought her back into my office, she reached down and grabbed the string, pulled up the kabob and started tearing it up... Not scared any longer! by shyzaboy, on Flickr Edited April 2, 2012 by Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Vet wrap. You can get it at any pet store or farm supply store. It is designed to stick to itself and to NOT be toxic to animals that are likely to chew on their bandages... It comes in a huge variety of colors. It is cheap, easy to apply and provides grip. It allows me to do all kinds of cool stuff with PVC... Here are my play-stands (links to the pictures): Office (modified somewhat since the picture) Sunroom (modified somewhat since the picture) Window perch All of which use PVC and vet wrap...

Doug Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I figured you'd have plenty of access to vet wrap in Kansas! Where in Kansas are you located? My parents are in Tonganoxie (between KC and Lawrence). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
