Ok so another thread starts because of something in a different thread.
So how does quality time work out in my house. With so many animals it of course means a lot of thought.
Here are somethings I factor in...
----------------
1) Does this animal like to be touched or do they prefer more on their own?
2) Is this animal active or is it more likely to lay down somewhere the whole time?
3) Can this animal be left loose on the floor?
4) How long can this animal be left loose before it gets into trouble?
----------------
Now depending that is how their time out/human interaction is fit in.
If I have the day off I will usually let the trio (Connor, Dallas&Chibi). They stay out till Rob gets home, than he plays with them at least an hour.(8-9hours). Than we will let Ringo out for at least an 3 hour alone than we let Apple join him. Than with Apple for 2hours. Than Apple alone for 3hours.
Next day Elvis will come out when we get home. He is out at least east 4hrs than he goes back. Than Wyatt comes out for at least 4hrs.
Teresa is usually out for an hour or so. She is NOT active. She doesn't play. The most active we get her is if we put her on the bed with us. She will play with boxes in her cage.
My other animals are not so social. I will spend a lot of time with them when cleaning cages and tanks. Every other day. I hold Rob cleans. So at least 30mins each.
