Basil Still Going Strong



Happy to report that after more than a month of heart meds, Basil is still doing great.  In fact, despite having everything in the cage lowered so he can access food, water, nest boxes, and comfy hammocks without climbing, Basil insists on climbing to the very top of the cage.

He's been having some problems grooming himself, but he refuses to let me help.  He's too proud.  He's making some progress in cleaning himself up, but there's a patch of fur right above his tail that needs a good wash.  I'll have to bribe him with some treats to convince his wounded dignity that being groomed by a human isn't so bad after all.
