mouse 282 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 the one my little lad raised was free to go whenever it wanted.it lived in the kennel with the terriers and could go in and out when it liked.when it ate out of their feed bowls they moved out of the way for it.will be getting another this spring for him because it was so good to see .
