So I've been posting all over and finally gotten the new cage I ordered! It's an all living things double cage with the giant doors. My 2 girls love it, and I can fit everything with room to spare inside. That being said, the door size has been a bit of an issue. After I tried to catch them for their medication a few times this week, they have learned that leaping onto my shoulder as I go for them allows them to make a bid for freedom. While my room has had the outlets sealed off and stuff moved so they can't get into it, truth is they are so small they can get into almost any nook and I almost lost one today this morning took me 10 minutes to find her and throw a fleece on her. Does anyone have an idea of how to keep these closed. I thought maybe a fleece slider of some kind with a slit in it to reach my hand through.....maybe some fringe? I love the giant doors for setting things up and putting them back in each night plus cleaning is so easy but until they have bonded with me which could take a long time it is difficult to get to them without them escaping..... Thought someone may have encountered this issue before.

I don't have those kind of cages, I can only suggest that you get a net from a pet store. Get the kind for parrots.
That way if they do hit the ground running you have an extension of your had to get them.

I like the idea of a treat. How about having them expect a super yummy treat at the back of the cage when you are opening the door. That way if you see one or both are going to make a run for it, just might give you time to close the door.
You are already using the fleece to catch and give meds, so I'm not fond of using a net in addition to stop them from scampering out the door.
