As far as the Wodent wheel is concerned, if she is interested she'll use it if not then it is just decoration! She might be getting enough exercise, if you have a large cage for her or she gets to run around the house. Or.....she might be using it while you are sleeping. Anyway I wouldn't force the issue just let her decide. This is only my opinion there are probably a few people who have Wodent Wheel "Wisdom" and can offer different advice! :)
anyway.....God Bless you and good luck!

: Ok, here is the list of things I need help with!

: As many of you know (and are sick of hearing) my Gizmo who is 1yr & 4 mos is not fully bonded, though she is much less afraid of me than she used to be. I guess I am trying to find a balance of trying to work on the bonding thing and respecting her personal space. Okay, so it looks silly when I type it I admit, but if she is crabbing should I continue to carry her around in her pouch? She HATES when I do & sometimes refuses to return to sleeping in her pouch for a day or two. She prefers to stay in her cage if I am still awake, but the second I lie down & turn off the light she is floating through the air. Okay, enough babbling, I guess what I am asking is how much is too much!

: Second, I still cannot get her to use her wodent wheel & have been hiding treats in it. Any ideas?

: The new baby is on her way, & I have decided on Willow as a name. Any good ideas on toys for a baby when she gets here?

: Okay, I had some more Q's but forgot, no doubt I wil be posting again soon!

: Thanks for the help!
: Glider love to you and yours
