i have to tell you guys something that i just found to be funny as can be!!
i bred about three times, to try it out. i didn't have a kit cage, well actually the first breeding was a surprise.. so when the kit was born, i just got an old cage and made a temp kit cage and it worked great for the first kit.
next kit [and purposely done] is my little angel. i put her and mom, noel, in the same made up kit cage i used before.. after about a few weeks i when i would check on them at night, the little stinker was always out of her cage running around the room, so i would get her and put her back in the cage, and shut the door in case she got out again, and she always did.. finally i just said, i'm fighting a losing battle here, if i don't get a kit cage, angel is just going to keep getting out. seeing as they have their own bedroom, i just kept using that cage and stopped putting her back in the cage at night when i caught her out.. do you know when she was done playing around or doing whatever, she went back into the cage.. now like i know animals are smart enough to go back home, but it surprised me so much because she was literally just about 2 or 3 three weeks old when this started.
okay next litter, two boys, one of them was alittle stinker and he did the same thing.. he would even go into chinnies cage and visit with him.. thankfully chinny is great with kits.. and when he was done visiting and playing, he would to back in his cage too..
funky little devils aren't they!!
