Reminder not to leave pets unsupervised! Pets always seem to be able to find ways to get themselves in to trouble. I thought the room I let my degus run around was completely safe but Scott got himself stuck behind the radiator pipe. I was there, noticed immediately and was able to help him out by lifting him above the skirting board where the gap is wider, but because I thought the room was safe I would sometimes leave briefly to get more bedding while I was cleaning out the cage or things like that. Scott could have seriously injured himself as he started to panic if I had taken any longer to notice him. Thankfully he was fine, but it’s important for everyone to remember this, no matter how safe you think they are.
