I got his body. I stepped more on his lower back, but it was like a half-step. I did not put full pressure on my foot, and I think that was incredibly lucky.
That's exactly what happened to me and Keith a while ago! I am not sure whether I posted that particular misadventure but I feel for you because it's scary and you feel like a bird killer
In my case it was worse because I weigh probably 50lb more than you! I was steaming the floor, and one step behind me was Keith who has a knack for finding himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I took a step back and there he was
Thank god I didn't stomp on him completely, as soon as I felt softness I jumped forward, and he flew on one of the ropes, half shocked and half furious.
I was already thinking BRAIN INJURY - SPINE INJURY - I KILLED HIM!!! He seemed too calm for his standards so I brought him to the vet immediately and the vet said he was perfectly fine, probably just a bit shaken by the experience.
Since that day I only sweep/mop the floor before they get out of the cages.
Once Bubu was walking on the floor and Paul missed him with his heavy work boots by a millimetre. I have never seen Paul so white,
he was truly shocked.
Usually when I get up from a chair or the bed I count them first to be sure one isn't hiding somewhere; same thing before I sit.
Even with all these precautions the stomping is so worryingly easy
I am happy Jaid is ok, he has probably already forgot the accident and acting ok by now, loving mommy as ever
