Behavior: Tasha & Carley Found Their Voices............

and does Tasha use it - LOL.

Tasha is around 5 months old. She took to my grandson (5 yo) right away. She loves to just sit on his chest or lap for hours. She started with just suttle noises - purring and low sounding weaks. Then two weeks ago we had an issue of her bitting when he was gone at his dads for the weekend. Adults fault on that issue because Mom and grandma only cleaned out cage, watered and fed her. She wanted MORE!

So we've learned to do alot of talking, petting, gentle rubbing and picking her up. That's the ticket!

Now Tasha will weak for food (of course), when she's being rubbed she really purrs loud and can she popcorn! It's so cute! She'll run in and out of her hut and all around her cage (going to order C&C today) bouncing like a ball - complete with head shakes.

Carley, on the other hand, she's been terribly affraid to come out of her hut. She'll eat when no one is looking and would never say a sound. She is willing to be picked up but won't venture past the hands that hold her.

Well this morning I was feeding "the girls" and noticed that when my daughter cleaned out the cage on Sunday, she didn't put enough bedding in it. I picked up Carley out of her hut and her little belly, bottom and legs were wet with pee. Poor baby! So I grabbed the baby shampoo and lightly wet her underside - washed and rinsed well and dried her off. She took it so well!

I put extra bedding in her cage and placed her in it. She ran to her hut and started weaking and did her first popcorn. She was running around her cage just a talking. Happy little girl!

I have some questions on bedding but will post those on the bedding fourm.

Thanks for letting me share

Awww, bless her little piggy heart! She was obviously uncomfortable, and really thanked you by showing you her popcorning and wheeking. She was happy!!!! I'm happy for you!!!
