About a week and a half ago Mickey the baby possum (see post from July 31) got to explore a new cage. He took to climbing right away and explored every inch of his new surroundings.
Awhile later, we saw Mickey on top of his cage! I figured he had gotten out through the door, so I was putting some clothespins to hold the door more securely...when all of the sudden he was out again! How was he doing this??
This is how! We didn't think he was small enough to squeeze through the bars, but apparently we were wrong! Never underestimate a determined possum!
So he immediately graduated to the next size cage, where he tried but couldn't escape! Now that he's bigger (a lot bigger than in this photo - I can't keep up!) he cannot escape out of the smaller cage, so now I feel safe keeping him there at night! He is also using a litter box...which makes our lives much easier!
