_____TP Fiasco: I put Pogo2 in the bathroom to run around while I ate, seeing as how my house is still such a mess from when I went on that trip (in other words, it's temporarily un-fert-proofed). Halfway through my pork chops, I heard this *thud*. Being suspicious about what trouble Pogo2 could've gotten into in the fert-proofed bathroom, I peeked in (still chewing food) to find Pogo2 Staring at the ground on a 3-inch pile of toilet paper. She wouldn't look at me, so I think she knew she did something bad. (Anybody else's fert do that?) Anyway, I put her in her cage. (She does know not to climb the toilet paper.) And next comes: _____Food Digger: Right as I sat back down to the table and lifted the fork to my mouth, I hear this irritating <digdigdig>. So, since she knows better than to dig in her food, I spray her with a little water. She climbs in her hammock. I sit back down. <DigDigDig!> I take her out and do her more powerful punishment (I blow[about medium-strength] in her face.). Then put her back. No sooner than I turn around, I hear this awful <DIG!DIG!DIG!> so jump up and thump the metal tray under her cage (it makes a loud noise that distracts her) and she still keeps on. How can I solve this? She *knows* it's wrong (or at least not to let me see her digging). No matter how much food I put in there, she digs, wasting a LOT of food. She has been through half of a 3lb bag of Kaytee. She just switched to it this week, and that is how much food she has wasted, and I even put the scattered (clean) remains back in her bowl. _____Backbone Baldness: Last night I also gave her a bath, and to my surprise, she has these humongous bald spots in her undercoat. She is only a few mo. old, so I don't think it's adrenal. She's not shedding. Any help appreciated. _____Smelling Good!!: When I washed her last night, I used her regular shampoo, my human conditioner afterwards, and after she dried off, I lathered her down with cocoa butter lotion. She smells good, her fur is *Much* softer, and her skin isn't dry. BTW, these are all products that I know she isn't allergic to.
