Doing some maintenece in the cage yesterday and normaly my tokay stays in the pvc pipe. I must of bumped the pipe or some thing because it shot out of the pipe at about a hundred mph jumped right out of the top of the cage, up the wall and behind my tv. When I went to grab it it jumped on my hand down my arm around me and jumped of my back somewere that I didnt see. Needless to say it took mee two hours to find it. It was hiding under the lip on the foot board of my bed. Still wasnt easy to catch. Back in cage now all is well I just hope this wont effect its great feeding habits. I didnt try to feed it last night thaught I would wait until tommorow and give it time for the stress to go away. Anybody else have expirience with escapies. Does there appetite go back to normal. Im sure im not the first one to have one get loose.
Thanks for reading

I wouldn't worry about it to much. Tokays are tough as nails, and born eating machines.
