Well I can downstairs this morning to find my OH had decided to let the girls out for free range.... We have only done this a few times and one at a time as they are still young and VERY hyper! So one girl, star, is currently hiding under the sofa and we can't get her out... I have tried food, sand bath, tapping the floor (usually gets them to come to us). run out of ideas now!!! please help! M. X

Hi Megan,
She is probably scared. What I used to do it get a tube, they work like magic. Put some of her favourite treats in and wait. This doesn't always work and it can take a few minutes. Just don't chase her, it might put her off and then you'll be worse off.
good luck!

We got her! Thank you for your help. She is the shy one, although she is getting better I think the OH was being a bit ambitious letting them all run around at once, especially when sky has only just started climbing onto our hands confidently! M x

Glad you got her back! Have you tried lying on the floor with them you are having free range time, its great for taming?

I agree, it is great when they realise you are an interactive climbing frame

I tried lying down with them yesterday, and they were more interested in my OH on the sofa with his laptop, but I will keep trying! The tamer one Lilly came over once but I will keep trying! Tried the tube trick to get them back and it worked! And we have put ladders up to the cage so they can go in and out as they please :-) M x

Drop a few treats on your stomach when lying down, they soon realise where they are, and it starts them off.
