Hi all!
These are true stories from a while back..
My little Qpid is a very crafty escape artist!
1) On one occasion, Qpid escaped from his cage by unscrewing two phillips screws that fastened the latch to the cage door! He did this from inside the cage while the screw heads are on the outside! I had to tighten them very firmly to prevent this from happening again!
2) On another occasion he escaped from his travel cage. This cage has a trap door for the food bowl that lifts vertically and is held down only by gravity and its own weight. Qpid learned to lift the door in a vertical split and escape. I then put a twist tie on the the door to hold it closed. Qpid learned to untwist the twist tie and escape! Now I have to use two twist ties and really twist both many times to slow him down. He's amazing!

I've had to attach small branches in front of the hardware that hold the small food and water access doors in place to keep Ralph the QP from removing the nuts and bolts.
