 3rd day

Third day since weve brought little Totoro home. And myyy goodness its already been a journey. When we first got him home he crabbed constantly and wouldnt let us near him. Now, he's letting us feed him treats and such. We've been researching for a cage mate for him, but idk if its a good idea at this point, due to his background. Were definitely going to get him one, but maybe when he's more comfortable.
I'm a bit worried about Totoro. I know its probably normal for him to be freaking out this early, but I hate to see my little guy scared.
He stayed in our room for the first time last night, (we had been keeping him in our bathroom at night), and it took him forever this morning to settle down and go to sleep. He circled his cage for a few hours, and just now nestled into his cloth =]
Hes such a cute little guy. I hope he calms down and gets comfortable soon. I hate the idea of my baby being scared >.<

just got my gliders last night,and the fun didn't stop there.I have two female and about 4 in the morning one started barking so i got up and she came to the cage door.I didn't see the other one so i looked in both pouches and didn't see her somehow she had escaped.I looked all over the room for her and couldn't find her and the only thing i could think about was my wife who is not a animal lover getting up and finding a glider on the loose not a pretty picture.It now 5 o clock alarm going off my normal time to get up so after turning over the sofa it started to set in she wasn't in the room after the shock worn off i got up walk into the hallway at the other end looking at with big black eye was my glider and i knew i only had i shot at this before mine whole house woke up include ziggy our dog who hasn't met them yet so remembering everthing i read i didn't panic i slowly turn around went and got some yogurt treats got down on the floor and in a soft voice offer the treat and she walked up to me sniff the treat and ran back into the room so i had another idea i took the pouch and put a mango bite in it got on the floor again called she walked up and crawled in the pouch 5:46 problem solve. all caged doors are wire shut! Good thing i got them hand tame or i think my story would end another way.
