I was just wondering if I should worry about this.
We've got Scrat and Gizmo for 2 weeks now (still waiting for a camera so I can have some good pics of them, but they're both adorable)
Scrat's a very active chin, running around, climbing on our arms and shoulders ... I even expect he'll let himself be picked up from the cage soon without any hassle.
Gizmo however is a different story. late at night and early morning he'll make it up to our hands sometimes but not much further, and most of the time he just sits quietly in their cage sleeping.
sunday night I had to spend 15 minutes trying to get him out of his cage so I could clean it, wouldn't be coaxed into the carrier even with the dreaded raisin of doom) and I still feel horrible about chasing him through his cage. He did run around the playpen afterwards for about 15 minutes but then just hid under a willow bridge. And most of the time he just seems very sad.
Other than that he seems ok, I see him eating (pellets as well as hay) and drinking, he'll come up to us for his daily treat (I try to have siome variation, currently have dry spaghetti's, dried rosebuds and johannis bread)
I'm hoping I'm just being impatient and overly concerned here but I do worry as I want to do right by our 2 new friends. (who, on the bright side bonded after 2 or 3 days and usually can be found cuddled up together)
