This morning Alfred was playing a little too hard in the bathroom, and when he went back in his cage, I noticed he wasn't walking on his back leg. We brought him to the vet, and he did x-rays, and didn't see anything so he is guessing that it is a sprain. Alfred is now supposed to take 15 cc of...

So, after a month of completely ignoring his new hammock, Alfred finally decided that it is a super comfortable place to sleep! Just thought I would share this, because he is the cutest thing I have ever seen!

Yeah I think he is just tired from all the running around he is doing, because as soon as I posted that he all of a sudden decided to spring to life and do laps around his cage and eat and drink, so I think he is fine. As far as wicking goes, I really have no idea what it means, which is why I...
