My pair Sandy and Penny have a large L-shaped cage (C&C). It is 5X2 grids on one side of the L and 4X2 grids on the other side of the L. I have a large cage for them because until very recently I didn't have a piggy safe area for floor time. This Summer I've had off from work and one of the things I did was to make a piggy safe area for them. I have a door grid with a ramp for them to walk over the coro wall and then they can go in and out of the piggy safe floor area while I'm watching them. This additional area provides them with a space for floor time which is about as large as their cage. The problem is that they don't seem interested. I thought they were scared of my hardwood floors because their feet slip around (they won't walk on bare coro either) so I put down piggy safe puppy pads, hidies, tunnels, etc. They will play for a few minutes but then go right back into their cage. I tried switching out their hidies and adding in some new things. They still don't seem interested. Any ideas on why they are not really interested? I think it's possible they may need more time to get used to it, but it has been two weeks now. Wherever they prefer to be is fine with me. I was just hoping to provide them with a little variety.
