My new Okeetee has been with us all of four days and escaped. He is 7 mo. and has a standard 10 gallon with a half-hinged wire mesh top from Petco. I have no idea how he did it, and have read that corns excell in this activity. There is no way to lock, or clamp, the top (from what I can tell). I've got about 20lbs of books piled on each end right now but I am afraid that will overheat the little 10 gallon. I am looking for a more permanent solution that does not involve my library. Any ideas? I'm not ready to invest in permanent, larger Vision cages at this point. And how can a little corn do it, anyway??? Kathy sure knows how to breed 'em.
I was able to find him (under the mat in front of the front door) and he was very cold. He has now been without a meal for 10 days and refused to eat today...poor guy has had a rough week.
As always, thanks for your help.
