Hi there,
We bought home 2 girls yesterday that are 9 weeks old. We are keeping them in for another month until putting outside so that it can be a bit warmer out.
Anyway we've pretty much left them alone since. Just talking gently as we go by the cage. They both are coming out but usually dart back inside to hide when they see us. But a few times now they've come out to look about while we are talking nearby which is nice. I think they are figuring out whos boss.
I'm going to sit by the cage with hubby in the evenings just playing a card game or something so they get used to us. Is this OK?
When should I try to handle them?
We have 2 children but I'm not letting them handle them until they are truly settled.
Also one has started making a weird snuffly noise. But only since last night. She was fine before that. Its not all the time but most if the time. No runny nose or anything.
Anyway thanks.
We are calling them Poppom and Blossom
