Prudence Regained

Prudence is now back in captivity. A little careful investigation revealed her location, which was precisely where I thought, and the offer of an open exercise ball, with a little patience, resulted in her re-acquisition. Transferring her to roomier accommodation was hazardous however, since she is very agile and does not like to be handled, and she thrice escaped my gentle grip, though I was just as fast and just as determined.

Naturally, she immediately set about working for her freedom again and she is now busily engaged in looking for a weak spot in the bars of the small cage, where she will live until the guinea pig cage is rendered escape proof. She cannot be allowed to live out again: There are signs that she tried to escape from the sitting room (the gap under the door is very small and she is very big) by digging through the carpet, which is the landlord's property.

I think I'll glue some glass sheets to the outside, with silicone, and prevent enlargement of the hole from inside by gluing a piece of flat stone or tile over it.
