Breakthrough with my campbells!

sammys/mum · 03-13-2008, 02:24 PM

As you might know I was really regretting getting my two campbells, Mango and Chutney.
But when I was putting them in the bath a few minutes ago to have a run around they both climbed onto my hand and ate a piece of food without biting me!
I'm so happy! I was worried they may not be able to get handled as I am a big wimp at things biting me but luckily they decided they liked me and stopped biting

Anyway here are the two gorgous boys:

Mango:

And Chutney:

Great news. Patience and persistance have paid off and its all down to you. Well done

They look great and very pleases with all their great toys.

Glad to hear you've had some success with these two - I have the pleasure of being rather thick-skinned, but I can appreciate how awkward it can be when they get nibbly!

Would it be possible to get some pics of your cage set-up? I use the bridge for my Syrians, but have been considering it for my dwarves... am on the prowl for good ideas

Congratulations. It's worth it when they start liking you, isn't it?

I'm glad you are all getting more confident with each other, and may your relationship bloom from now on!

Well done Sammy's Mum, I'm so glad you have won them round. Its not much fun being bitten and it does take courage to keep on handling, so well done you.

The cages look really good too.
