My 1yr old, Kilmer, seems to love to wake me every night about the same time by scratching like crazy at the floor of his cage. At first he was doing it because he would dump his food bowl in the bottom of the cage and would want it filled again, so we did this. It worked for a little while.Them we tried keeping him out for longer periods of time when we are home and really tiring him out before bed time but of no luck to us. Well now he is doing it again and for longer periods of time and seems even louder. He has a metal bottom,in his 3 story cage, which we put pine shavings down for him. He scratches in the same spot which is under the ramp leading from the 1st to 2nd level of the cage. His cage is cleaned daily, always has fresh food and cold Poland Springs water in his bottle. I would appreciate any info on why and/or how to stop the little bugger from doing this. Sometimes I think he just does it because he knows I get up at 3 am everyday for work, lol. Thanks :) Danielle & Mike --and we can't forget Kilmer [Posted in FML issue 3107]
