I'm ready to get on with the introductions, but I sure have a hard time getting Washi by himself. I really don't want to start with Kioko, he's so much bigger and dominating. Shikoni getting sick delayed everything but he's better now.
He sure was playful this morning! No Hide-and-Seek, it was Leaping Lizards for about forty-five minutes ... up the robe, jump onto me, jump onto the curtains, the towel bar, the counter, the floor, even the top of the medicine chest. I've never seen him so energetic. I mostly just stood in the middle of the room and let him go, I was kind of like the center tree in a grove. It's a small room, and he was really into the long leaps. No gliding yet, it's probably a matter of time before he goes from one end to the other. If I hadn't been in the way he may have done it this morning. Gave him the last three crickets for a morning snack.
I gave Kioko and Washi an egg last night. I peeled of some of the shell and set it on the floor fleece. Kioko went to it first, he started pulling at the white and eating; Washi was at the food dish getting the mango. I didn't stay to watch much of it, but this morning it looked like they had eaten close to half. Most of the yolk was gone. There are little bits of shell scattered around, that's all. I guess they liked it! Shikoni won't eat hard-boiled egg at all; he barely eats scrambled. Just not his favorite food. I gave him chicken with the mango and celery. His dish was had only a few scraps; the boys left about half of their celery.
I gave Shikoni back his nest this morning. He sure was glad to see it! I had taken it out while he was on the Amoxy, it was just too hard to get him out of it; same with the tunnel. He had two pouches, so much easier. During that medication time he would hardly come to me, he associated me with the medicine and didn't want to take any chances of getting that syringe stuck in his face. Of course it didn't happen every time I held him, but I guess twice a day was enough! He's over that now, he comes right over when I open the cage and gets on my hand the way he has always done. I'm glad about that, he's such a sweet little guy!
Still working on the boys, they still won't come to me if the cage door's open. Washi will usually get on my hand, but not stay very long. Kioko rarely does, and when he does, he only stays a second or two. It's slow going, I think if I had either one as a solitary it wouldn't be so difficult, but since they have each other they only need me for treats!
Cleaning cages today and washing fleece. I washed the toys yesterday, I'll only have two pouches and some floor fleeces and blankets to do today. The bridge and hammocks and extra pouches & blankets got washed last week, so that's a job not needed today. Cage mesh and bars are not too sticky either, just a little wipe down should take care of that.
Bought some porcelain dishes at a garage sale, little Korean sauce dishes, plain white. Just right for the boys. Also found a nice deep squared saucer in a pretty yellow, it'll be great for juice for the boys. Like I need a few more dishes!
I'll get to the Dollar Tree today; hope they have the Cranimals or the bunnies. Our Dollar Tree has a very poor selection of toys; I've never found anything there suitable -- of course I don't go very often. I hate shopping! Belton's stores tend to be very inadequate, but I sure don't feel like driving to Killeen or Temple. Well, we'll see what I can accomplish.
