he finally came out of his cage:)

[oh-beast]

i was reading biggie a book and i had his cage open i notice he kept sniffin the outside so i put my hand in the cage and he came out here are some pics.
also i tired given him a bath but he wont do it because his last owns shoved him there and forced him to take a bath they didnt do their home work so now he is scared to take a bath is their any way i can help him take a bath.? to get the matts out.?

He's a cutie! I would do a dust bath in a pyrex dish--so it's not inclosed. Put it in his cage and leave it in there for a while to see if that entices him in.

 

[oh-beast]

thank you i will do laurie
also if you look at the bottom pic you can see were he is missing a leg

 

[Laurie]

He doesn't even look like he misses that leg! I'm sure you'll have him looking better in no time. Just be patient and take time to gain his trust. That's most important.

 

[oh-beast]

yes the most important is to gain his trust witch he is starting to that is a good sign

When I first found Fleury outside, he had mats also, but a hurt arm so i didn't want him rolling in the bath til I got him to the vet to find out what was wrong. I used one of the small clear plastic totes (w/the lid off) and i put dust in it and used dust in my hand and tried to kind of rub it through his fur. It really helped a lot. And w/the mats, I just gently tugged on most of them and they came right out! Hope this helps!

[oh-beast]
