awwww he must've been sooo bored in the cage. the boys recover so quickly that i think any pain they feel is overpowered by the urge to play. i remember when sparks my fat orange one had his jubblies removed he was only down for a day.. then my brother came over the next day and played with him with those dangling toys and sparks was jumping around and leaping and pouncing and i was yelling at my brother "STOP PLAYING WITH HIM!! HE"LL RIP A STITCH!!!" but they both ignored me. then sparks miscalculated his landing after a particularly high and fast jump, and he landed....... on his bum and freshly.. castrated... areas......
...... the playing stopped and my bro felt his pain. i didn't have to yell anymore. so anyway my point is, during recovery, CAGE = GOOD!!!!!
