Hi all,
So, two days ago I had my girls out in their cozy for their first lap time. Apart from them being very nervous, it seemed to go ok. Tonight, though, I had to try and cut their nails. Took Ivory out first, in the cozy, and although she struggled a little, she was actually ok. Ebony, on the other hand, went into the cozy as planned, but then once I was sitting in the bathroom, she was trying to dig and bite through the bottom of the cozy, and then trying to jump out of it and clicking her teeth like mad. Scared of terrifying her completely, and getting bitten myself, I gave up and put her back in the cage. Her nails aren't as bad as Ivory's were and can safely be left to grow a little longer, but she's going to have to be done eventually!
I had gotten them to the point that both would eat out of my hand and am worried that all my hard work will now be ruined?
