Mollysmum Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Molly came out of her cage tonight but now I can't get her back in . Any ideas to get her back in? She won't let me touch her yet Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Wendy, make sure she has food in her cage and do not offer her any food outside of the cage, hunger will force her into her cage and when she goes inside you will have her trapped, then close the door, problem solved. :whistle: :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Wendy, Did you manage to get Molly back in her cage okay? Caroline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Is Molly flighted? If not, be confident in yourself and ball your hand up in a fist with the skin stretched tight across the back. Move your tightened fist in under her with the back of the fist facing her and just make her step up and take her to the cage. If she is flighted, that's another story and you will not have much control over the situation other than others advised to ensure all her foods are in her cage and perhaps try to bribe her back in with a treat. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollysmum Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 She did go back in eventually we bribed her in. Molly isn't flighted and my poor baby had her wings clipped when we got her so she hasn't fleged yet altough she keeps trying to fly. She was in her cage tonight with the door open and she has only just coe out in the last twenty minutes:lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 At least you managed to bribe her in Wendy, make sure you find out what her favourite treat is and use this to your advantage. I always save pine nuts to entice my three back in, I dont feed them until they are back in their cages. Does she step up for you yet? If not you will find it so much easier when she can. Especially if she is clipped. Let me know if you would like me to provide a link on training to step up. Caroline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollysmum Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 She can't step up yet and she won't let us touch her she is still a bit wary of us. Any link would be helpful. Thanks Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
