Bonding!

 Bonding!

I can say that there is progress.
Especially last night.I noticed that she wasn't jumping about even though she was out of her pouch.I did the tent test and she didn't seem dehydrated but I checked the water bottle just in case.The little ball was stuck,god knows how that happened.My poor baby!So i got a dish of water and put it right next to her but she wasn't drinking.So I dipped my finger in the water and put it in front of her.She licked the water off.The first couple of times she lightly nibbled in an attempt to get more water but she quickly realized that that wasn't working.So I stayed up giving her water like that for a good half an hour.It was serious bonding.I also pet her while she's eating her meal worm so that she is distracted and not tempted to bite me but as of today I was able to pet her without any distractions.It rained all day today so I made her a little blankie for extra warmth.Gosh,I love her!

That does happen with water bottles. Consider keeping two in there and check them daily. There are lots of different stories with lots of problems with different bottles. Glad you found it! :)

My Hobbies
I like to read,write,and I've recently discovered a love for animals.I always liked them,but the responsibility that came with them wasn't worth it.I've come to accept that responsibility as totally worth it.To know that you have made an animal healthy and happy is reward enough. My thoughts are with the Tasmanian Tiger.A truly unique animals.

My Bio
My name is Katie.I'm a capable,caring,aware individual.I have very strong opinions about things that I have educated myself on,but my mind is open to new ideas and opinions.When I don't know about something that presents it's self I like to gather as much information and opinions on the subject as I can.I believe that once you have an animal it is your responsibility to take care of it,even if you get bored with it or it's personality takes a turn for the worse.My mother once got rid of a cat she had,had because it was being unfriendly and didn't like being touched.I still felt that she had an obligation to provide that cat with care and love even if she didn't get it back.People don't seem to realize that animals can be just as diverse as people.
