The lock on Tico's cage broke off a little while ago. Since then I've been making do with a piece of duct tape to keep the lid on. The problem with that is, each time I open the cage a little bit of the sticky is lost. Because of this Tico escaped from his cage today... twice.
The first time was on the drive back to school. I glanced into the back seat to find myself face to face with a very proud Tico. I managed to shove him back in his cage, and I figured that was done. I should of recognized that he escaped because the tape had lost its stick, but instead I assumed he had gotten out because I hadn't pushed the tape down hard enough. This was wrong.
Fast forward a few hours, I get home from class. I don't even bother to check if Tico is in his cage, because I assume he is. Eric pointed Tico out to me, as he was running under my bed. This time he had been out long enough that he was excited to head back home, which is concerning. I also found a large pile of sunflower seed shells, he managed to gorge himself on his big day out. However, he seems to be doing well. I hope he stays happy and healthy.
