My daughter & her boyfriend have just finished re-doing Iggy's *real* cage at her *real* residence. (She has been with me for 18 months as they could not heat her properly. They want to take her home :o( :o( :o(
Of course I am worried. They believe they know how to take proper care of her, but there are a few items I am having trouble convincing them of:
1) They think she prefers her food in large chunks
2) Do not understand why there should be 1 or 2 thermometres in the cage
3) Take her outside without a leash - and let go of her AAAHHHH!!They believe she won't run away if startled, because she never has before!
And lastly, they have asked me about paint. They have painted the inside of her cage to look like Ecuador LOL - but have used latex paint. *IF* I am certain it can't get scratched off and swallowed, is it safe to use? Igs smell so much better than us, and I just can't imagine paint smelling several thousand times worse than it does!!
***How long should we wait after painting to bring Iggy over?***
As usual - thanks everyone.
Wendy. :o( :o(
PS - I better watch it, if I keep this up they won't give me any human grand-babies either!
