Talking Bilbo's thread

Hi everyone, just wanted to post some pics of our new ham, Bilbo. We have had him for about a week and a half now. Taming is going ok, he will gently take a treat from my fingers and will usually come to the front of the cage when we call him. Just waiting for him to get more confident before moving on to the next stage. I permanently have tissues down my bra for him lol!

Here he is on his arrival at home. He was very calm and curious when I opened the box, a good sign I hope.



Doing a spot of cage bar climbing. He likes to look at what we are up to.



Still a little shy. I love his little facial expressions.



I will add more photos as we both get more adventurous!

Hello little Bilbo.....he's absolutely gorgeous. His little facial expressions are adorable.
Good look with the taming but looks like he's settling in well

Thanks! He loves using his sand bath and is using his toilet too. I also upgraded the wheel that came with the cage (too noisy!!) to a Trixie 28cm, so he is living in luxury.

There's so much great advice on here, it has saved me money by not buying the wrong thing, or stuff I don't need.

He is gorgeous & I love that last shot, his little face is so cute.
It sounds as though he's settling in really well.

Aw, he's super cute! Bilbo's a great name. He looks pretty adventurous scaling the bars already. Good luck with the hand taming

Hello to Bilbo. The photo of him peering from around the back of his wheel is very cute.

A couple of new pics of Bilbo. Here he is, mid wash on his shelf. Hence the wet look haircut!



And he he is stuffing his cheeks with some dandelion bar.



When he first came he slept in the corner of the cage, I'm assuming because it was still very mild weather. Now he is firmly installed in his igloo and carts all the food there too. When my son sees him collecting food from the bowl, he says "Bilbo's at the shops!"

Sorry, the captions are the wrong way round there, even though photobucket shows them in the other order! :-\
