Usually I try to play be with Duchess for 20 + minutes at a times when I feed her, depending on the day and time I usually allow 20 minutes of eating alone or grazing or wandering and then 20 minutes of playing. Sometimes the playing can’t happen and I let her wander around for 10 + minutes. I do feel guilty when I feel like she has gotten enough time outside of the cage, but being a full time student, and working part time really wears me out. But when I do get to play with her or watch her explore it’s such a wonderful experience.
Tonight I rearranged the living room again! But this time I made the floor space tighter [she has couch room too, she likes jumping and jumping down a lot] and with this set up it allows for more play time. She spent 10 minutes alone playing with a paper ball. She’s getting to be so cute and funny. And then another 10-15 minutes playing with the birdie [it’s actually a turtle] and she makes such loud noises with her paws. It sounds like a 5 pound cat stomping and thundering around than a little kitten.
I know that this is random but every time I’m with her and every day I just love her more and more, she may not always show affection but when she does it just warms my heart.
