: I am sitting here at the computer and just looked over to Oscar & Abbey's cage. One of them was sitting on top of the nest box and looked wet. So I looked closer and they were very, very wet and smelly like they were covered in pee. Even the babies (who are approx 3 weeks oop)were wet. They all seem a little cold too but it's not cold in the house. I washed & dried the nest box real good and took the babies and wiped them with a warm washcloth. They are in my shirt now getting warm. Oscar & Abbey are next. Anyone have a guess at what's going on?

It sounds like some heavy duty marking going on. I have only seen one other post that is similar to this one and it was asking if gliders sweat because that glider was also soaked in this manner. I am glad to see postings like this because I have never experienced this and would be overly anxious if I did encounter it. It is good to hear of other peoples experiences and to know that sometimes this can occur. It will help me to be less anxious should it happen with mine. Thank you for sharing.
