My rats drive me crazy. You remember how two weeks ago Krümel broke his foot and I had to separate him into a small cage so he'd rest and not climb stuff? But for social contact I put the small cage inside the large one. He's still inside that small cage because the foot is still swollen as broken bones take some time to heal (especially as you can't stop him from walking on it completely). Of course Krümel is fairly unhappy in the small cage, and I only take him out briefly each day. And the other two don't quite get why he's behind bars either.

So now Ignatz has figured out how to open the wire door to the small cage, and broke into it. I heard suspicious squeaking and checked them. I know why my big cage has doors with actual locks rather than simple hooks.
