He has a little like... loft that goes off from his habitrail that he can access. He climbed over into it and it has a little bulb that lifts up. I lifted it up and he crawled right into my hands. He was shaking a bit, but otherwise he seemed okay.

There's a ramp in his house and there are some chews on it. He kinda tried going up while I was watching him but changed his mind halfway through. I put a cucumber up there, so if it's eaten/gone in the morning I'll know he uses it. If not I'll consider taking it out. Same with the wheel.

He's pretty darn cute though. He has more winter white colouring than anything else but I'm pretty certain he's a hybrid.

SO wants to call him Grenada or Grenade now, lol.

Considering Java is also called Luna or Roxy, he might have several names... :P

Welcome, Coffee. I'm so glad you've come to live with Hekomi. She's going to make you so comfortable and give you lots and lots of love.

He's beautiful Hekomi, congratulations

Thanks guys! Were working on making him comfortable right now. I'll be removing his loft and wheel since he used neither. He has a worrying little pink bump near his anus but I'm hoping that will clear up over the next few days. I think considering his age and condition we might have another month or maybe a bit more. He seems comfortable and happy but the bump near his anus is worrying. He did make some poops though, but it could be an infection and I doubt the poor little man would appreciate another car ride to the vet and subsequent check up and medicine. I'll be able to give him a better assessment in maybe a week once he's settled in more. He's super friendly still, but I can feel how skinny he is. Hopefully he's not in any pain whatsoever.

I feel bad for him. It doesn't smell great and has seen better days but I don't want to move him. Poor little guy. I dread having to clean it out, I'm going to end up soaking and scrubbing the whole thing for hours

Don't feel bad Hekomi. He doesn't know anything different. If he seems settled in with you now, you don't have to keep him in that cage for his whole life. It was only until he seemed to be comfortable. Just make sure his toys and some of his bedding moves with him. At his age he shouldn't have any level or tubes, just all one level. Did you have another home in mind for him?
