Paper bags: Corey and I have seen posts on the list about "paper bag escapes" at shows. How does this game work? Crazy albino: My albino boy Gabriel is driving us *absolutely insane*! I don't what happened, but he's been quite skittish lately, as well as downright impossible. He's just over a year old now, so I'm thinking maybe it's just adolescence. But it's driving us batty! He'll scratch at the closet door for 1/2 hour at a time sometimes, and he just doesn't take no for an answer. If you don't let him out of the cage right away, he'll paw, bite, pull and grab at the cage bars, making quite a racket. I'm afraid he'll hurt himself by getting a nail caught or breaking a tooth. And that's just a sampling of his behavior. Time outs aren't working with him anymore, and scruffing and hissing just seems to egg him on. I'm almost thinking maybe he's just a thick-headed guy, but his behavior is affecting us as his parents, as well as the other 2 gals in the business. His overly-aggressive behavior has also kept us from integrating our foster Tiki fully. We've been through all of the integration tricks, but in the end he's just too rough with her, and for now Tiki either sleeps alone or with Lucy. Our dream is to move them all into one cage and let them all out for one playtime, but for now it's not possible and we're on shifts with them. We try to be as fair as possible with the three of them, since we don't want a hostile living environment, and we don't want any of them to feel left out. Sounds like a project for a business therapist :). Any suggestions? Andrea and the disfunctional but cute business: Lucy Furr "I'm sensing some anger...I'll set up a group therapy session." Gabriel "Let me out! Tipping over the trash was fun." Tiki "Is he ever gonna stop trying to beat me up?" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "O Dogbert, Patron Saint of Lazy Ass New=20 Media twenty-somethings, protect us from work." - my best friend Nejla *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* [Posted in FML issue 2580]
