To "coco5 "

Dont quite know what you want to know by "Where is his cage" so will answer as best as i can

It is in the living room, and the pics are of him inside his cage

Is this what you wanted to know?????

Yes, I think all the ants are gone now....

Took lesleyg1989's advice and tried to pick him up last night. Without the cloth... was terrified
Started by holding my hand next to him while talking to him and then slowly slid my hand underneath him, and then all of a sudden he climbed onto my hand.
I was in shock, and just stood there praising him, and he sat there for a whole minute before climbing off again.
Guess its not much... But its a start

I'm so happy for you! Just keep going I loved it when I first got mine I'd pick them up all the time and they'd sit on my shoulder they still do. Keep us updated.

Me again,

Just a quick update on gogga.....hes so CUTE
He climbed onto my hand by himself 3x today already and its only noon now. But he wont let me pet him while holding him, and wont let me move my hand out of the cage yet. But getting onto my hand is a HUGE step for him and ME of course.
He also ate his carrots for the first time by himself....out of his salad bowl

So... since i was very down yesterday as i thought he would always be scampering away and would never let me hold him, now i feel as though there is hope

Thanx 2 everyone who follows his progress and i will post updates as they happen

Hi all,

Things just keep getting better and better
I can hold my BD now inside his cage and even pet him while in my hand.
after i leave the cage, he goes NUTTTTSSSSS by the glass, as if trying to get out, or to call me back or something
Eating like a little piggy, his tummy is nice and round, and the loose skin on his sides seem to be going away now.
Heres a new pic of him taken yesterday..

Oh and changed his name to POGO
My friens BD that died last month's name was gogga (I didnt know) and seems insensitive to call mine gogga too as i dont want to stirr up sadness

Pogo is so cute. Looks like he is going to shed the front part of his nose, and looks like his legs are going into shed too. Congrats on him letting you pet and hold him. He'll be snuggling in under your chin very soon.
