Artemis' thread

[chesca_27]

It’s been a couple of months so I figured I’d write an update. I know I was being annoying and going back and forth on changing her cage. In the end, I’ve kept her in the plaza and she can’t climb anyway anymore, but I still have cardboard strips threaded through the bars in case.

She seems to be doing well, considering she’ll be 3 in about 6 weeks (if not sooner). We give her baby food everyday now, as it seems to be much easier to for her to eat and she gets soaked science selective pellets every other day (which she does like) as well as her normal mix. She can still eat the smaller seeds (flaxseed, millet etc) out of the mix and she did lick flaxseed off my finger last week. I have all her food bowls at the front of the cage, next to her water, so I can monitor what she eats. Artie still runs on her wheel, just a lot slower and for not nearly as long. She’s also started sleeping in an open nest.

She’s so sweet and docile and I’ve attached a photo of her sleeping this morning. It’s a bit blurry, because the easiest way for me to upload photos is by taking a picture of the photo on my phone. I think that’s all my updates on her tbh. I can’t believe she’s nearly 3! For Christmas, she got an alfalfa train and some treats and Bucky got a pop up playpen.
