Default Ickle Mickle! ; )

On Friday I finally got to go to P@H again, it's been about three & a half months since I last went to look at hams & brought Zephyr home!
They had two totally adorable robos up for adoption & I have been wanting one but was a bit worried that I might not be able to handle one, even if just for health checks, getting up close I had a sensible moment & decided maybe they're not for me
Sadly they didn't have any hybrids up for adoption this time & I felt a bit bad as I'd rather adopt or rescue but I could not help myself & had to have a look see what they had for sale…. a lovely little heap of four hybrids sleeping in a pile!
I put my hand in the cage & while getting quite seriously bitten by one was getting just as seriously smitten by another! I had her out to hold & she was so sweet & calm, very curious but not afraid at all.
I think it was love at first sight so now she's home with me
She's settling in so well, eating food from my hand on her first morning here, exploring everywhere in her tank & running in her wheel. She keeps having a go at her flying saucer but hasn't quite got the hang of it yet, she keeps sliding about all over but won't give up bless her!
She's just so sweet & such a beautiful colour, makes think of chocolate & cappuccino.
She makes little noises in her sleep too, just like Ziggy & Teek used to do, hadn't realised how much I was missing that!
Not sure where the name came from, it just popped into my head & stuck but I think it kind of suits her.
She's being a bit shy this morning but hopefully I'll get some more photos soon but for now
Meet Mickle
baby Mickle hiding


She looks so tiny!


I think she likes her broccoli


She found some millet & is ignoring me!


Looking cute with her first cucumber

Mickle is settling in well now, she got a little nippy the first couple of days but seems to be getting over that & is really comfortable taking food from my hand.
She finally mastered the art of her flying saucer & seems to be enjoying that & she figured out what her sand bath is for, I was having some doubts about keeping her in a tank but seeing just how far & high she can throw that sand I'm quite glad now!
Can't resist taking photos of her so I thought I'd share a few more.

I'm watching you


Her first taste of clover, she loved that.


Just having a little nibble


It's a long way down!


I think she likes her hanging basket, she spends ages in there!

Is that a garden hanging basket or something specifically designed for hams? I like it
