 Hard work paying off





Hello everyone!

Been hard at work with my little girl shes trusting my hand's more. Shes takeing treats, from my hands each day now. She even crawls up the cage to see me, and i give her treats, threw the bars as well.

Shes been going NUTS! for the dried papaya treats I have, that i got from petco. Strangly she wont eat the yogies i have for her. " Picky eater I guess" but will also eat the mealworms, I give her as well. "hmm"

I have been doing " Tent" time with her each day, around night time. At time's it goes well, where she comes out of her pouch and runs around, even on me. then other days, she looks for a spot to sleep, and sleeps under the fleese blanket i put in there. " tough cookie"

some people have sugested, That i do " tent" time during day " when I can" or even try doing "Bathroom" time, where I have not done that yet. Afraid she will go somewhere, to where I cannot get to her..

for a few days now, i havent been puting her in the bonding pouch, shes eather been in a piece of fleese, or her blue pouch from inside the cage. " i can flip it down to where I can place my hands in to pet her" She has been letting me pet her now, and at times looks up at me.

progress is here, and more is to come.


keep at it, keep strong. The Bond will come, a pact will be made

 trust is happining

Today she has been very active this morning.


She has been takeing treats from my hand now, and sniffs and licks my hands. She does nip at times but I don't pull away. Anytime she comes to me now, I offer her a treat. So She knows my hands are something safe.

I will keep working with her, I cannot pick her up yet, But she is letting me touch her and stroke her tail. Plus at times she calms down when I " talk softly" to her

big rewards are here, just need to keep strong and relax. She is worth all the time and energy.!

 Wonderful New Baby in the House

Today, So far has been worth it!

My little girl has been running threw her wheel, like its running out of style!! Until I can get a better one for her, i used zip-ties to keep it from moveing.

Here and there sence i got her on 12/3/15 I have seen good improvments. She has niped me for the first time, however it didint hurt that bad. Just like a pinch! so everytime she does it, i go " Psst"! at her and she stops. plus at times, she will come up to me to sniff.

I did get to pet her a few times here and there, but over all i have not tryed to pick her up with bare hands, or tryed picking her up with a piece of fleece. if she is in her hammic, or sleeping pouch, i gently push her out and into her bonding pouch.

I know we will be bonded in time, just need to keep working hard, and need to stay strong even when she trys to crab at me.

keep moveing forward~
