Where's Waldo

I came home last night and Zinger was no where to be found and not a peep from his enclosure so I went in to make sure he was ok.

Apparently when BICS* goes in the bedroom he often hits his funnel on the fencing around Zinger's enclosure which scares the doots out of him! But also, when BICS runs into walls the noise freaks him out. So he's taken to staying in his den!

I looked into the inflatable e-collars that restrict movement but don't put a funnel on your head, but I think the cost isn't worth how long BICS has to wear it so we're just going to tough it out until sometime next week when he should be allowed to take it off. I didn't want to put it on him but he was licking and chewing his elbow where one of the incisions is. We can't have that!

Last night he played with O'Reilly. First time. Of course, as I said, he shouldn't be playing.

It is nice to see you've trained that human to give you lots of greens!

Zinger has a good place to disappear into when need be!

Good luck BICS .. that contraption looks .... uh ... AWFUL!

Zinger had a right to be scared -- probably thought a satellite dish was attacking from another planet!

*Ahhhh! That's what BICS stands for -- very clever!
