Well, most of the times.
Mine are very gentle with other animals, but being typical canines they greet, introduce, play, and communicate, very rough. Being husky, they are rowdier, rougher, growlier and more playful than most canines seem to be.
Recently I had a male ackie escape for the 4th time in months, usually something impedes the top closing on occasion, he takes advantage. He was out for 4 days at least, in the basement, on the cold floor, in a drain around the wall. That bugger is within a few feet every time of where he was last time, my cat visits him and hangs out, I think he helps to keep him warm on his adventures sometimes. The little bugger eats escaped crickets (very few, but finds them all in no time at all), in fact sometimes he seems to gain weight when he gets out, lol.
I dont trust the dogs with the lizards, but thats because instinct is a strong thing, and it teachs many parents an unforgettable lesson, even a 4.5 lb pommeranian has a human fatality to its record in the US (an infant).
