Default Re: Zylvan, another new man in my life!

Taming/bonding is still going at something slower than a snail's pace I'm sorry to say, I think we are taking tiny steps forward but then I think maybe I imagined it lol!
I did manage to get a few photos of him yesterday though, after I'd coaxed him out of his hole for his veg he discovered a garden had suddenly appeared & was intrigued enough to stay out for a while!


Oooh! What's this?



Having a good look.







Looking cute if a bit nervous bless him!



It was dark in the sprout corner (or the camera thought it was! I seem to need so much more light for vids than photos so they are mostly rubbish!) so the quality is rubbish but I think you can just about see how much he's enjoying exploring his new garden!

Another vid of him eating his veg, it's about the only time I have a chance to film him still!

Oh goodness he is so cute such an inquisitive little face. I know what you mean with the taming, after me saying that Jaska is coming out his shell last week he seems to be back to being just as scared again. I'm sure you'll get there with him though. He looks really small sititng under his water bottle and his sprouts look like a huge forest Lovely pics and I enjoyed the videos too

He's so gorgeous.

Precisely yesterday I was wondering how were you both doing. It's a pity that he's still so skittish. He looked so cute nibbling his vegs, but when he noticed you he run away quickly

Keep working with him, I hope that at some point he won't be afraid anymore.

Aww bless him. I think sometimes we'll come across a hamster that likes to take their time with taming and with Lady May it seemed to take months as she really was quite wary of people. I think you'll get there with Zylvan though and probably when you least expect it.

It's great idea to have those green sprouts in his cage. I'm sure he wants to come out, but fear holds him back. Just a matter of time and he'll come around I'm sure

Thank you all

It is frustrating at times but I'm at least as stubborn as Zylvan is so I'm sure we will get there eventually, it will be so worth it when we do

BorisPasha fingers crossed Jaska is just going through a silly phase & will come back out his shell again soon.

Thanks both

I hardly dare believe it but he was quite a bit braver yesterday evening & this morning, maybe he likes having his photo taken... or maybe he just likes sprouts

I'd really like to upgrade him soon if I can create a set up he's comfortable with, if nothing else I think he's trying to tell me he needs a bigger sand bath!

Lol at the sand bath! He has clearly been digging Lovely to see him investigating his garden and veggies. He does look shy. Is he better or worse out of the cage?

How do you get your videos to show up like that instead of just a link please? I have never mastered that!
