Cage Cleaner - he did not need an adjustment because he was happier to be with you than his last owner.
It took Myrtle awhile only because she was malnurished and had been caged for the first year of her life. She was afraid of hands because they grabed her out of her cage when they cleaned it. She had also been terrorized by a CAG her first year. She came out of her cage in the first 24 hours. I have had her for about 11 months now and she is the happiest critter in the house.
Not all critters miss where they had been or who they had been with.
Rambo came from a good home where he was never caged. The couple loved him very much. He was well cared for. When he came from their quiet house to my kaos he considered it an upgrade. He hid from his previouse owner when she came to visit for the first 2 times. He loved her but wanted to stay here. After the first 2 visits he met her at the door but would not walk her back to the door when she was leaving.
