Lockdown by Diane Tullson Page A

has to live in it. You don’t need to wash the bars of her cage unless they get gross. Ditto for her wheel.
    She likes to chew on toilet-paper rolls. And she loves cotton balls to make a nest. I give her new cotton balls when I clean her cage. I put a little bit of her old nest in with the new cotton balls so that it smells like her home.
    Other: She’ll try to get out of her cage. That’s normal. She’s used to being held.Just be gentle and don’t scare her. She’s been through a rough time. Maybe just let her be quiet.
