Heres what you want, you only want someone to agree with you, so you feel better. So do you feel better? If so, great.



That you have many many/several, that do not do so well, indicates, you have room to grow and learn. Learning and growing if fun.



Wouldn't it be nice to not have problematic animals?



Personally, I feel I am responsible for what occurs in my cages. I either support their success or I hinder it. I am the one who put them in my cage. So to blame the animal for anything is odd to me. As the animal would rather be out of the cages. If you don't believe me, open the cage door and leave and see what happens. If the animal comes back and stays the cage, I will congratulate you. You must have offered something of value to the animal.



GHW, thinks her problem individual in chronically impaired(sick) and that is entirely possible. A vet visit can determine that. Or not. Sorry, some vets are not so good.



If you would question this problem, you would be seeking answers, not being patted on the back. After all, all the patting on your back will not help that animal.



What will help that animal is you actively seeking ways to help it become normal. In all reality, you may not fine that, but at least you tried.



So while you go on and on about not liking me cause I am condescending(1.Acting in a way that betrays a feeling of patronizing superiority.) or some such. Lets look at that, how could I not, I have done this successfully for over fifty years, and you are a beginner. I have no choice or ability to avoid being condescending when there is that much difference in experience. I do treat you folks as equals and adults.



What I don't like is, folks who refuse to be responsible for the animals they put in their cages. So there is the problem.
