Carrots. The solution is carrots.

Yesterday I filmed Vingdragån taking a piece of carrot from my fingers. Just now he got up in the middle of the day - I heard he was having a snack and offered him more carrot, he came up to get it. In the middle of the day. :-) Next step - making him climb into my hand to fetch it.

Vingdragån day 8

Today he picked up a piece of carrot from my fingers. He won't climb into my hand, but he let me watch him do the morning grooming on the roof of his house. He then went into the egg carton and got a short run in the bathroom, but I took him back to his cage when he climbed into the travel cage by himself. The idea is egg carton = I want to run in the bathroom, climbing back into travel cage = I want to go home. We'll see if he agrees ;-)

The photographic evidence:

82 grams!

Right. So I was going to write about how Lada is doing better and his neck has been fine lately.

A few recent photos:

Looking sharp there. :-)

And tonight he actually fit a huge piece of carrot in his mouth. Never thought he would manage, he even struggled with it for long enough for me to get my camera out.

The magic moment:

And he had a run around the living room for almost an hour tonight, all was well!

Until I weighed him. He's down to 82 grams now!!! He's around 10 months old and most definitely should weigh more than that!

But otherwise he seems fine.
