Re: Cage Setup Examples
It isn't so much that they don't like heights it is just they are not used to heights and will walk right off a ledge. Also they tuck into a ball so their quills will help cushion the fall but that is only for very minor heights. A fall of even a foot or so can cause MAJOR injuries. So when adding a loft it is imperative that the "ramp" and loft is completely enclosed. Tubing is a perfect "ramp" but the loft still has to be without ledges.
