You know your babies best. If you sincerely feel based on your experience with them that all is fine, go for it but watch him very carefully to see if there is a change. If there is, he may need more time. You will always be the best judge! Best wishes!!
Thanks...I think...just my being over protective. I'm going to wait until Friday. And leave him have that week of recoupe time. Just so I don't second guess myself of opening it to soon. He's definately hoppin' around and not favoring his foot. But...I don't want to push him and give him extra running room just yet. With him having to jump up into the top part of the cage through an opening. Is where I'm concerned. So...I'll be the over protective momma and make him wait it out.
I know with the dog...when he had leg issues we were to crate him for a week. So...I'll limit Nibbles just the same. [I'm just having my husband making a fuss...that I'm being over protective when he's fine!] My son gets his doggie playpen this weekend. But with a kids sleep over party going on. I don't see the chins being out until everyone goes home. They are safer in the cage. And...after the inicial looking in on them. They will be removed from the room. Everyone is sleeping downstairs in the basement. We just turned it into a teen's dream for our oldest to have a place to "chill" with his friends. But the youngest also benefits from these two room that are now opened up into a gaming room and tv area to chill.
But I can't wait to be able to allow the chins in his room. With the guarentee that they will be safe from electrical plugs. By using the pen as a gate to block off a section of his room.
