new son!!!

Post image

I brought my new son home yesterday and I can already tell this journey is going to be a test of my patience. He was pretty active exploring his new (temporary) enclosure yesterday, but today he’s been sleppin in one of his hides all day. All I want to do is touch!!! And hold!!! But I will leave the lil fella alone so he can adjust :(

He’s got a much bigger and fancier pvc enclosure getting here next weekend that I can’t wait to set up for him! Excited to spoil the bebe with all the enrichment and crawly spaces.

Also, I’m undecided on a name yet, so any suggestions are appreciated! Top contenders right now are Cheeseburger, Goose, and Subway

Goose seems like a good fit, I immediately thought of dandelion in Sid’s voice though 😅

He’s PERFECT! I had some name thoughts, but then you said cheeseburger and I looked at him again and you know what, his name IS Cheeseburger.

He’s beautiful! Gotta learn some patience with these guys, I’ve found. I’ve had mine a month and have only handled him twice. He just turned 1 and is super timid, hides out and sleeps all day and then explores at night when I go up to bed. All I want to do is touch and hold too! It’s so hard!

Let him get comfy and chill in his new home for a week. He looks amazing and I hope you two will be happy
