Heeere's Kage - with a K

[Kage]

Bed for me at 11.30pm ish last night. Up and downstairs checking up on Kage at 2am. In the red light it's difficult to focus straight away. I walked slowly over to the Kingdom and found him with his back legs in his digging box and resting his front legs against the royal carriage aka the coffee jar.

He keeps storing more and more food in there. Huh! I wonder is it food he will eat or does he simply store it and decide later?

He didn't scuttle away straight away. It was lovely to see the little feller again. I had a little chat with him before he made his way to the Sovereign Suite.

I thought about finding something tasty to try and tempt him out, but I let him be. Maybe another time. Actually, definitely another time. Maybe early tomorrow morning. Maybe, maybe...

Glad you got to see him I keep a rat tube on top of the cage so I can grab it and offer it otherwise by the time you've fetched something they're gone again sometimes Maybe keep a pack of walnuts on top of the cage as well so you can put a treat in the taxi quickly.

Up again at 2am this morning. I found Kage in front of the Big Red Wheel. I didn't see him use it, but I did see him go behind it and spend some time there. He seems to like it there.

I intended giving his living quarters in the second extension a deep clean, and Kage seemed happy enough to let me. I took out the bedding, and still couldn't find his toilet which further increased my idea he points it out through the bars. No wet patches on the walls though. Who knows?

He did make his way into his favourite hideout, the Sovereign Suite while I was working away, but then he came to supervise the proceedings. I won't say he got in the way but he did come very close to me. I was tempted to try and stroke him but I left him alone. It's been quite a while since we got that close and I wasn't about to startle him.

After a time he disappeared into the Suite again, and not even a piece of banana could tempt him out, so I left some of the pieces on his doorstep and put one other in his new hideout-cum-royal carriage-cum-taxi if it's ever needed. It's there I usually put his veggies or pieces of fruit, and one more place he stashes food.

Left Kage to his own devices an hour later, cleaning done, time spent with Kage over. What next I wonder?

Glad you got close to Kage. You are being permitted into his nocturnal realm, quite exciting ❤

 

[Kage]

Yep, little by little. If getting out of his way then coming back once he's up works for him and me, then... I'm not holding my breath, and I'm not pushing, but... I'm hopeful...just that

He was keeping his eye on what you were doing - they sometimes follow your hand round anxiously - protective of their territory . I think you could have got him out at that point - for out of cage time - he may have walked into a tube - but when it’s not planned it sometimes doesn’t feel like the right time.

I hadn't even thought of getting him out. Cleaning, seeing him, and seeing how he reacted was the plan. I think we did okay
