This is my third try to get baby to sit and chill and spend the night with his wrap on. The first day I tried several times with some cloth strips, but once I'd leave him alone he'd run back and forth until it fell off. Yesterday I got some vet tape, and it seemed like it was on good, but this morning it was off (and pooped on, lol). Tonight I wrapped it again and stapled it so hopefully it will stay put (and hopefully not eat the staples). I've been sitting here for 45 minutes watching to see if he can get out of it. So far it's staying put, partly because I'm hanging out and giving him worms, but I don't see how it could be comfortable for the night. It keeps sliding down, and it won't slide back up against the grain of the feathers. The YouTube videos made it look so easy! Guess I'll check back in an hour and see if he's still wrapped, but I can already hear him agitated.. pretty sure he's working to free himself. If this doesn't work does anybody have a tip on the best method for an 8 week old? There's plenty of angel wing videos but there's some nuance or technique I'm missing. Even if this holds I'll have to repeat nightly for a while, so any tips appreciated!

Also check the new digs I made for him. I was gonna build a house for the yard (still might) but due to the quarantine I decided to stay home and repurpose this old bench by cutting an entry hole in it and pushing it against the hole in the patio door where a cat door used to be and adding a ramp on the outside. I'll get more pics tomorrow in the sun, but so far I'm pretty happy with it. He navigates the ramp great and has been spending a lot of time outside, so I'm pretty pleased :)
