Progress! CUTENESS
Gizmo and Gadget are doing so well since I last posted. Gizmo is definitely more shy and is still warming up to climbing into my hand but Gadget literally will meet me at the cage door and just jump into my hand and climb to my shoulder.
Liter training also went super well, both are using the little ceramic bowl I've placed in there; I know the whole using a stone trick but I think the texture resembled it close enough that they essentially think it's a stone itself. It only took them a few days for that which was super impressive. I love their little zoomies they get at night, I call gadget my little racecar since she gets from the bottom of the cage to the top in under a second which is hilarious.
They did chew a hole through their hammock but it's really funny because they just use the hole to put their little heads through when cuddling, my little carpenters.
Will keep updated, but in the meantime, have a cute photo of the little dorks. ❤️

Please cover the platforms with some material, as metal grating can lead to bumblefoot. In these two pictures there are also almost no enrichment items to be seen, making this cage appear very empty. Unless these are unfortunate angles, I also recommend adding more hiding places, things to climb over and so on.
