It's so exciting! I actually have Violet and Rosy trained to walk out of the cage and into my hand! I never thought that I could get them to do it! Unfortunately, Petunia and Hazel are not so willing and I usually have to get them to run into a toilet paper tube and pick it up quickly before they run back out. Then they will reluctantly come out into my hand.
I gave the girls a treat log that had nuts, seeds and grains all held together by honey. They loved it! They wouldn't leave it alone and ate on it until it was completely gone. It took them 3 days to finish it off, but they did it. Of course, then they had really runny poo and were pretty sick to their stomachs for a couple of days. Live and Learn! No more treat sticks like that. The only treats they get from now on is fresh fruits and veggies and the chew biscuits from Kaytee. I really like those because it helps wear down their teeth while they are getting a treat. Also, the green ones turn their little poos green! You can always tell who ate the green one!
