I couldn't agree more! And I would be totally to blame....ugh. He has been there now since March. We probably took the egg crate off in August or so...and he does seem settled...but I know I am taking a HUGE risk! If I could find a way to keep the temp down with a full glass lid I sure would!

Tony, you have a point with the eggcrate helping them to get out....never really thought about that....I just "hope" he doesn't decide to try flying.
