Say hello to Tiny Des



As you can see he can be handled, he just needs to get used to it

Here is Tiny Des working out



I have been spending a lot of time with this little guy and have found out a lot about him. He doesn't mind being held, its just hands he isn't keen on. I have been picking him up by letting him walk in a tube and then putting him on my lap and he is perfectly happy with this. He just isn't used to being picked up with hands, so gets a little unsure.

Whilst he was walking around my bed, he was nibbling on things, so he isn't being nasty at all. I am hoping that the more I do this, the better he will be and there have been great improvements so far

How cute is that. I had one and oh my god I think it was in last life some kind of tazmanian devil.. I never like to handle that psychopath.. If I disturbed it started to yell. She freaked out when grape rolled off she house while she was smelling it. If I bother to change her food while sleeping she told me where loudly to go away and not disturb her beauty sleep.. Good memories.

Haha we had a very vocal one in not too long ago. Funnily enough we rehomed it much faster than some of the friendly ones we have in!
