Ive placed a few ladders at different
heights in the cage to help her climb..
Seems to have worked..Ive a layer of thick foam
in a cotton pillow case covered with paper in the bottom..
Makes falling softer for her...
Mint spends lots of time on the floor of her cage...
so the millet and treats are their...
Also she is out on the floor for a good hour now..
She cant fly at all just waddles along...
At least she is still with us and HAPPY

Any idea's as to anything else I could do?
