My new Russian hybrid arrived unexpectedly on Friday 13th. I have been told he is 8 weeks old. He was an adoption, as when he first arrived at the pet shop, he was so small, he got through the bars of the cage. He went missing for a while before being caught. At first he screeched, but before adoption he calmed down.
He is similar colour to Willow.

He is in a bin cage at the moment. I hope the smaller space will help with taming. He has sniffed me a few times, been in the playpen and had a little bit of handling, although he soon got too quick and had to be returned to his cage.

He is an escape artist. Last night after playpen time. I put him into his cage. I was tidying the playpen up and saw him running on the floor. I used the ball to catch him and returned him to his cage, only to see him climb the water bottle holder really fast. I rushed to stop him jumping from the rim of his bin cage. He was In the exercise ball for a couple of minutes while I removed the water bottle and holder and put in a water bowl.

Photo will be added once I can reduce the size.
