ChinnyMom
slave to Rhino and Guss
well folks, i figured since Handbag has his own thread (and a few others do too i'm sure, just haven't seen them all), i figured it was time for Rhino to have one too.
Rhino came home last Thursday, Feb 24th, 2011. he is supposed to be a foster chin, but i have a hunch he'll stay :heart5:
he was very skittish for a good few days and i did get one bite that broke my skin, but that was my fault, i was probably pestering him too much while refreshing his hay and food. now he just likes to try and eat my nails, lol.
he's been out a few times, but until tonight he didn't really have much to do with me. He absolutely loves popping in and out of the pillows on my bed!
(folks, taking the metal bed frame off my bed and having the boxspring on the floor is the most genius idea i've had all week, lol, and wish i'd thought of it before Rhino took forever to come out from under the bed on one of the first nights out)
tonight was also the first night he was peeping (contact sound) when out, which i understand is them either looking for something or happy, or perhaps both. i attempted to peep back at him and he usually would come over to me when i did, even though my peep sounded nothing like his, lol. he also sat still on my shoulder tonight for a teensy bit! i wish i had brought my camera in with me, doh!
here's his current cage. soon as i've done some more renovations i'll be sure to give y'all the view.
and a couple more shots of my cutie. (wire shelf is gone)
stay tuned for more Rhino!
