Meet Misty :)

Hello everybody,

Last week I got my first Syrian since... many many years.
I ran into her at the petshop.
I left but found it really really hard to leave her behind.
After a night of tossing and turning, I decided to go get her.

She is a silvergrey longhaired Syrian.

She was a bit sick the first few days. Some sneezing and a teary eye. It was possible that stress and a cold got a chance. She was just one day at the petshop before I got her, and then she went home with me. I have had contact with the petshop and made some agreements about how to proceed.

After a few days, she got better, her eye is clean, and the sneezing is as good as gone so that is really a blessing for her and me.

At the moment she is in quarantine, that means I keep her in a somewhat smaller tank and keep tabs on her health and condition. She will remain that way for a little while, untill I am absolutely sure she is completely recuperated and then I will decide on a new enclosure.
So keep in mind this is a temporary enclosure.

Today I got her a appropriate sized wheel and she loves the new toy very much, she has a nice hide, a potty in the corner which she (happily) uses very well and it really helps keeping things nice and clean.

When I got her out of the store tank she was very feisty and decided on biting me untill she drew blood. Later at home she bit me again but all is forgiven. After a few days in peace, she got more relaxed and now is more comfortable with handling. She climbs on my hand and takes treats.
I am really happy that she is open to taming and doing so incredibly well and she is really really sweet.

Here are some photo's from the petshop and when she got home.
Take care,

Joey

she's a wee beauty! I love silver greys next to goldens. Such a lovely hammy. She looks so happy and content in your arms. I can understand why you found her hard to resist when you saw at the pet shop!

Thank you Well she has been some improvements, she was resting a lot I guess the stress was a little bit much for her. But since I have given her a wheel, she is out more and loves to run.

I was absolutely obsessed with a few color schemes I saw online.
I just love the silver and black , and I saw that face pressed up on to the glass. And I spent all night and day thinking about her.
Let's just say I won't allow myself into another pet store without supervision lolzzzzz

Thank you I loved it too, she was very shy and decided the nook in my arm was a nice viewing post and she keeps on crawling back there when she gets the chance. But she's much easier now to handle then a few days ago, and I have good hopes for the future

Congratulations on your little girl.
