Hi everyone. I hope you can all give me some advice.
I am planning on giving my two new 6 year old rehomes their first playtime next weekend. They are beginning to know me and are asking to come out of their cage.
I cannot use the bathroom. I play with my baby chin in a penned in area in the bedroom. She comes out. Jumps on me and then down on the floor where I have a house, a tube and toys. She jumps up to go in and out of her cage.
These new girls are big. I am very sure they will jump out of the pens and I don't want them lose in the bedroom. I purchased a 6 foot tall room divider and will use it in combination with the pens so that they can play in the cage area without, hopefully, getting lose in the bedroom. Of course, I will keep the bedroom door closed just in case they escape the play area.
My question is: what can I do to make sure that their first play time is not frightening to them. Also I am worried they wont respond when I need them to go back in the cage and don't want them to be frightened of me because they think I am chasing them.
Any suggestions from the experts?
Thank you all in advance.
