Virga and Cirrus have been doing very well the last few days. They are limited in their activity by the smaller cage and can only climb, When we came into the room last night they came to the front of the cage and waited for us to take them out. We have been taking them out for periods of time and letting the climb on us and walk around on the floor for a bit. They are both feeling pretty frisky but we don't want them to be too active until they have healed some more. The incisions look good and appear to be healing well.
Today we thought we would put the ladies in e-jackets and remove the collars. So after their morning medications we removed Virga's collar and put her in her e-jacket. It did not take her long to wriggle out of it, so there were a number of more tries until she finally seemed secured in the jacket. She crawled into their sleeping pouch and settled in. Cirrus was up next. She did not like this at all, and it took several tries before she was secure, or so we thought. In about five minutes she had managed to wriggle out of it. Rather than keep trying to keep her in her lime-green jacket, we put the e-collar back on. I picked up the sleeping pouch to find that Virga had wriggled halfway out of her jacket (she apparently wasn't sleeping as I thought), so we removed her jacket and returned her to the e-collar. We did not want to stress them out by repeatedly trying to get them in .the jackets. Apparently we need to work on our technique, because they should not be able to get out of the jackets.
