Oh cypher! I don’t know how I missed this!! This is so so exiting! I’m going around right now to tell Libby! He was super excited too (or maybe because I gave him a mealworm lol)! I understand how hard it is to lose a ham and have that feeling of a cage with no one in it. Whoa! She must be a tiny thing! I’m super exited to hear how she settles in! Great cage setup too!

Dear Míriel,
Hello! I want to tell you how lucky you are to have been taken home by your mum! Your going to be in great hands! I’m looking forward to seeing you!

Thanks Lizzy, BP & Sasha

She is loving her cage & seems to be making the most of all of it, it's so sweet to see her little face peeking out of the hammock watching me & seeing her explore everything.
Still a very shy little girl though, baby steps & lots of patience!

Thanks Sasha
Progress has been a bit of the two steps forward one step back dance but we are coming on & when she does get scared she still just goes to the back of her cage for a moment or two then comes back out to investigate.
Opening the cage door has been a bit scary for her but we overcame that last night & she took her first treat straight from my hand, she was running in her wheel when I offered her a little piece of walnut & she kept stretching out & sniffing but was a bit reluctant to leave the safety of her wheel, I usually keep my hand still & let them come to me but I reached closer & she gently took it from my fingers, had a little nibble then went back to running with the walnut crashing around with her, I think i might have scared her a little laughing!

Sounds like she's doing very well though, especially considering it's only been a week and she's so young

It's good that she's not completely disappearing either when she's getting a little scared. Feliks used to be terrified of the front door opening on his cage, no matter how quietly I tried to open it he ran away Very nice of her to play you a tune though

Congrats on Miriel - I am so pleased to hear that another female Chinese is so very lucky to get an amazing home with you. Her cage layout looks great and I'm sure she is loving it. I am so looking forward to seeing photos of her once she has settled in and her confidence has grown. Pleased to hear that she has been taking treats from you and I'm sure you two will have a very special bond soon.

Thanks guys
She really is coming on well now, a big change yesterday evening, I think curiosity is overcoming fear at last, as soon as she heard my voice she came running over to investigate & was taking a treat or two through the bars, before she just sat & looked at me but now she's standing eagerly with her feet up on the bars, I tried opening the door when she was at the back of the cage & she ran straight over to me, thought better of it but then came back again!
I'm still keeping the lights low to encourage her to get up early but fingers crossed she'll soon bit happy with a bit more light & I can get some photos.
