Vet Trauma and Adjusting Schedule

[Maz]

I assume by bin him you mean move him into a bin?

I had one like this - Tino - he was younger than usual when he came to me and has missed out on a lot of socialisation with his siblings.

It did take a long time but as you’ve probably seen he is take now and. Try sociable. It did take months - maybe think of him as a late developer and just let him evolve in his own time. I know it’s hard but maybe he’ll get a bit stressed if he’s moved to and from a bin? Anyway if you think it’s helping …..

Thanks for the encouragement. I mean the bin he was in for like two days last week. So it’s not a new environment. He played in it last night and liked it. Thoughts?

 

[Maz]

Hmm. I don’t know - are you thinking he preferred the bin to the cage or wondering if it’s a good playpen? As a taming bin it might work well

 

[RoboMommy]

It’s more he used it instead of a playpen to interact with us last night. But the week before he lived in there for maybe two nights. Hope that clarifies. He likes both.

 

[Socks' Mum]

A cork log might help with wearing down his nails, if he doesn't already have one, that and a branch possibly.

 

[RoboMommy]

We’ll look into it - it’s hard to find the right type. He has a branch and two slate plates.

 

[Maz]

His nails shouldn’t be getting too long at his age. How old is he again? I usually have a rough tile or teraccitta plant pot base under the water bottle so they walk on it every time they go for a drink.

 

[RoboMommy]

He’s just under 11 months. But he is a robo who had very little mommy time. And thanks. we added another plate to his well.
