Not Going On The Floor

Hello!

Indie keeps on going on the floor, and I have tried to lure her off it with treas, get her to step up on a stick, etc. None of it works, she will just hide under stuff. It could be partly because we have a carpet and seeds sometimes fall into it. Any tips to stop her from going on the floor?

Thanks!

My p'let and parakeet used to do that all. the. time. When they were more comfortable with me and actually enjoyed spending time with me they stopped. They just needed to grow out of it and decide that I was more fun! Good luck with that - I know how annoying it is, especially with a cat!

Make a fake carpet to lure her elsewhere?
I got a foraging mat made for me, (I´m sure there´s got to be something similar in the mainstream market?), I then keep it on my table next to me and sprinkle seeds in it, and put some little toys on top :geek: Worth a try?
