Definitely very late to this thread but have been following it the whole way through. I must say that Zylvan is adorable and sounds a lot like a gerbil of mine. Her name is ginger and she lives with one of her siblings, Mitzi. Things were going really well with her at first minus how rough of a condition she and her sister were in (they were a classic case of neglect, skinny and horribly dirty with bad coats) she was friendly, but very skittish and cautious. I try working with her but her fear of humans since her situation has only grown worse, she will bite my fingers when I try to pet her, but I will keep trying to help her out in learning that she'll never be treated poorly again. Hopefully both my gerb and Zylvan gain confidence in humans, maybe Zylvan had a rough start too? Anyways best of luck to you!
