Now that Clyde has this huge new cage, I tried to put perches in convenient places where he could go up and down easily. Then I watched him yesterday afternoon as he explored it to see where he might need to have them. He crawls up and down and all around a lot and I'm sure that's good exercise for him, but I wanted him to have convenient places to sit, too. And he STILL seems to spend most of his time hanging on the side. It's not quite 3 feet high and about a foot and a half wide on each side, and he has a sandy perch and a natural stick perch up near the top where he prefers to sit, a swing hanging from the top, another natural perch attached to one side about a foot below the two top ones, a comfy rope style perch about six inches below that, a plastic one and another stick perch about a foot from the floor, and a plastic one in front of his food and water. Does that sound about right? My husband says I put "too much stuff" in his cage. He has a mirror and a treat bowl and a couple of toys and a ladder on the floor hooked to the side so he can climb down to his bathtub that's on the floor.
