Hello again guys... sorry it's been a while but we've been runningaround here lately like chickens with our heads cut off trying to getthings done before my husband might have to go play in the big kittylitter box overseas! :? Between the 2 bunnies, 4 dogs and being amember of the local dog obediance club and our anniversary and Mother'sday and house remodeling it's been a tad hectic. Anyhow... that's a tadoff topic.
What I really want to know is the best way to help Tramp and Pigeonbecome more social. I can tell they are more comfortable in theirsurroundings here at the house and I try to let them loose in thebasement den (no electric wires there) for at least a couple of hourseach night. The trouble comes when it is time to get them back in theircages! I really don't want to have to pick them up since I know thatstresses them but they make it hard to say the least to "herd" themback to their cages. Lately I have been finding where they are andsetting up barriers so that once I get behind them their only choice isto go where the barriers let them (i.e. their cage). This is stillsomewhat stressing on them though and I was just wondering if there isa better way?? When they are in the cage I can feed them a treat byhand (only one a night I promise... unless my husband has been treatingthem also hehe) but once they are out of the cage they really don'twant anything at all to do with me. What can I do to help them feelmore secure around me??! Help!
