Wallace's Thread

[EnerHam]

Wallace is a 16 week old Syrian I adopted from Pets at Home. His previous owner became bored of him about a month after purchase so bought him back to the shop. He had been there since the beginning of April. He is not tame in the slightest. I adopted him on May 1st.

I had to open his cage for the first time today to replenish his food. He was awake when I did it, and did not move a muscle the entire time my hands were in his space. I did it as quickly as possible and he had vanished by the time I got back from refilling his water bottle.

He has two beds at opposite corners at the moment and a lovely pile of poos on the lower platform of his cage. I'm getting the impression neatness is not the little guy's strong suit.

I still don't think he's pouched or stored any food yet. He just scatters it all over the platform when he feels like eating. The poo platform. Kitchen and toilet, apparently. Delightful.

He is very cute. I don't think he'll be paying me too many complements at the moment!
