Update on my shy, reluctant feeder

buffysmom Jun 11, 2004 10:23 AM

My Hog island, whom I've had for a month, has spent that entire month crammed into a 6"L x 3"W cork log. Well, I finally pried the log off of her a few days ago, so now I can handle her & start getting her acclimated. The first handling she was very shy & spent the whole time looking for a place to hide & staying there. But yesterday, I took her out & she really warmed up, exploring around, hanging out on me & NOT hiding. I had a rat pink waiting for her when she went back "home" & she ate w/in 1/2 hour (but I didn't get to see it). YEAH!

No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful. Everybody dies frustrated and sad, and that is beautiful.

that's great to hear!! I knew she would come around...I'm glad to hear that she's feeding for you and that's she's warming up to being handled. She looks like a little tree boa up on that branch LOL!
