Default Re: Mocha's thread

So some time has passed with Mocha and we're getting somewhere.
Compared to his previous behavior he has come very far. He used to curl up in a corner, hissing and biting out of fear from being handled badly in his former place of stay.

He came home with me 2 weeks ago today and so far I've mainly spoken to him daily, watched him in his enclosure and offered him treats. He's still super cautious but accepts treats from my fingers and open hand sometimes. He seems comfortable with the general presence of me which is a win. I usually see him around 10 or 11 PM through most of the night, sometimes he'll be around 'getting ready for bed' as I wake up between 7 and 8 AM, which is super nice. I look forward to some more trust, hopefully happily munching away in my palm soon.

I found a beautiful woven grass basket in a second-hand shop and decided to upgrade his sandbath.


Sandbath with DIY bendy bridges.


In his enclosure together with a new coconut hideout.
