Hey guys! Thanks for all the welcomes for little Chickpea. She's settled in now and to be honest taming was the easiest I've ever had because she is extremely food orientated and will literally do anything for a mealworm

She zooms about her home now without a care for who is in the room and what noises are going on around her. She loves to do a specific loop round her house, through her tunnels and rolls in her sand bath where she lets out a tiny little squeak of joy (it's ridiculously cute but I have yet to catch this on video) before coming to the door and climbing happily out onto my hand. She particularly loves tunnelling and spends half her time zipping in and out of various entrances she's made around the cage.

Also, a little late but she's finally getting her summer coat and looks cute as a button so I thought I'd share some photos with you all (she's a bit of a poser)

Getting used to her home, first week I think. No out of cage time yet.

Sitting in her coconut, getting more confident and is happily coming to the door for treats now when I call her

Coming out of the cage now, playing nicely, and as you can see - getting her summer coat on!

As you can see she is now pretty much there with the colour change!

Aww, she is absolutely amazing and so, SO much fun! I love her personality and her zipping and zooming around routine sounds precious. She is a real sweetheart and so very photogenic, too. I love her summer coat, but I loved her other one as well. I love all of her pics!!!

Chickpea is gorgeous - I wasn't expecting such a difference looking at the first photos but he colouring is beautiful. I'm pleased to hear that taming went so well with her. Her little routine before she comes out is so sweet - I hope you manage to video it!

She looks so lovely! Really happy to hear the taming sessions went really easy and she trusts you now. She certainly looks like she's enjoying being on your hand!
