One of Frankie's boings needed to be replaced so I ordered a new one. The new one is sisal and has a big bell on the bottom. The old one was cotton rope and had no bell. The selling point of the new one for us was the bell as he absolutely LOVES bells. Well, we put the new boing up one night after we had covered him up for the night. The next week or so, he wouldn't even go to that side of the cage unless we tricked him into it. Well, he has now discovered the bell. It's a loud bell. He apparently thinks he needs to match the noise level of that bell. He loves that bell. We can no longer hear the tv or hear to talk on the phone because he plays with that bell almost non-stop. What was I thinking when I bought a boing with not just a bell on it, but a BIG bell???
