Climbing the sides

[Wendy Proulx]

My Redfoot has started to worry me and seems to be trying climb out of the enclosure. I’m afraid he is gonna flip over and not be able to right himself again. Any thought on why this is happening? I have been trying to take him out in his excerise enclosure more often to try to tire him out. His enclosure is plenty big enough, but he seems bored. Any thoughts on what I can do differently.

Is the exercise enclosure outside?

Once they find out there's more to the world than what's inside their enclosure walls, they always want out. If their enclosure is big enough, it's best to just leave them in there and don't put them anyplace else. ONce the weather warms up and they can go outside all the time, then move them outside. If the exercise enclosure is outside, it's best to not use it until the weather warms up and he can stay out there longer.

Just keep food on the feeding tile all the time and maybe he'll think about eating instead of climbing.
