He is a little heart throb in the making. I miss Jupiter's baby days.....4 weeks ago
This is how Pear sleeps
Guilty as charged. Most of the advice I dole out comes from a mushy, overly empathetic momma, lol
We don't have kids living at home or other pets. Crying all night was not an option as I really had to sell the idea of indoor pet geese to my husband. He consented, but he wasn't particularly supportive. I made promises to keep them quiet during the night and not fall behind on housework. I set up a sleeping space underneath a desk in the kitchen. My plan was to sleep on the couch near them. The male would scream if he couldn't see me. Sometimes he would scream even if he could see me, but wasn't right next to him. I tried getting them to sleep in a bin a few times in the 10 days they were a pair, but the one we ended up returning would scream. I can only take a few minutes of that before my tree hugging animal loving hippie side comes out, lol. The day the other one went back to the feedstore, was the same night Jupiter accepted her bed. She squalled for a couple of minutes, then settled in for sleep. She is like Cas in that, when 8:30pm rolls around, she lets us know in her special way that she's tired and wants to go to bed.
I think geese are like kids. What works for one may not work for another and vise versa. I try to keep my mind malleable. If one technique doesn't work, I try something else until I find one that does.
