Description

The mat was another dollar store purchase. Simply attach everything to the mat with twine or zippy ties. In the beginning, I hung the mat on the side of Herbie's cage. A few days later I hung it in the middle of the cage. The change in location usually starts a fervor of new activity. The third change was to hang it horizontal instead of vertical-that he likes the best!
