When the little ones (Finn and Violet) came to live with us - we put baby gates up across the doorway to Nigel's room and the guest room. Clooney and Madison have always known how to climb over the gates but Finn and Violet really never had an interest. Clooney and Maddie would climb over and sleep away from the craziness of the little ferrets and life was good. Then came Theo -
It took him about 5 weeks and then he started to climb over. Finn - his BFF - was not going to be left out and neither was Violet so it got to a point where all five of them were climbing over. At that point - it seemed kinda silly to have the gate up any longer so I took it down and now they have free access to Nigel's room.
They love it in there - new places to explore, things to get into, places to sleep, etc. Theo likes investigating Nigel's cage - after he made a giant mess in there I decided the cage door was to remain closed from now on. Pretty soon the gate will come down from the guest room as well and then they will have free run of all the rooms upstairs with the exception of the man cave. Might be even trickier to find them than it already is.
