Beaker's bedtime is from 7 to 8 pm although on the weekends he is allowed to "burn it" a bit.
On Sunday night he decided to be confrontational about bedtime.
That is, he takes up a stance at the bottom of the cage door so you can't close it, he won't allow it.
If you try to get him on your hand he pushes it away or gets "nippy" but not lunging and biting.
It is just a big game of "who is in charge".
So, I sat back in my chair and then all of a sudden I look at him and declare,"What was that?!"
He perks right up and as we all know, they hear everything, so he is confused he missed something.
Then I say,"Oh oh, Trevor (my son) is coming down".
Beaker then runs to the perch in his cage as my son and him play some kind of chase me game.
Only this time, there was no son and I closed and locked the cage door as I said good night.
Beaker looked at me like,"Ok smart guy your time is coming!".
