Well….I decided to let Earle go up the big oak tree today. I am confident this is the same tree he originally came out of. I want him to start exploring and to better develop his climbing skills.
I scabbed together a base out of old scrap wood and made him a “support camp” consisting of his cage…his bedding, his food and water, then I opened the door!
Earle jumped up onto the door of his cage, then onto the tree, then “rocketed” up the tree like his little tail was on fire! This is the first photo I had time to take (he’s already 15’ up at this point).
He kept going a bit more, then turned around and looked back down at me.
Finally…he settled on a limb about 20’ up.
After snooping around for awhile he relaxed and found a greenl limb to cut his teeth on.
It will interesting to see if he comes back down this evening.
