Anybody have issues with this?
I originally thought Fiver would get all thumpy when things were quiet, so we were gonna buy him a radio to put next to him to make things more peaceful and easier to handle...
But last night, I realized that he does it whenever I'm still for very long...be it when I fall asleep (and subsequently stop moving), when I'm reading, watching TV, whatever. We'll still get him a radio to at least help...but in the meantime, I suspect that Fiver's previous owner might've died (and he witnessed his human friend stop moving forever), and he found a way to get out and that's how he was found, outside.
I've a sneaky suspicion that when I'm really still for a time, he fears that I've died, too...
How do I help him with this? Do I need to cover his cage at night? I haven't gotten much sleep AT ALL the past two nights, and am about ready to collapse from all this...but more than anything, I just wanna help my baby boy.
Can anyone help me?
