Do you have any roosts? How about birdie toys like at Petsmart?

You can handle this as much as you want just make sure you are holding them in a draft-free place and that they are not too cold.

I have heard the balls with bells in them for cats amuse them. You can put a small container of soil from outside in there and let them scratch in it.

There scratching is not boredom as much as it is a natural instinct to scratch and dig up roots and bugs. They are practicing and learning how to be big girls.

I put 2 roosts in and got them a ball with a bell in it , It's like the 5 of them are playing soccer now .

Thanks again
