Cindy

[Tulsi]

I love the way that she has upended her forage box. Much easier to find things now!

 

[Maz]

Ha ha - they do that don't they. Tino has his mini forage box in the playpen and he always tips it up.

 

[ilguy]

Aw, I'm glad things are going so well with her! She seems like such a little sweetheart, great to see a new dwarf ham on here

 

[Tulsi]

My little delight is coming out twice a day, mornings around 9 or 10 and evenings the same. She is still happy to get on my hand. I even gave her a tiny very short stroke today. Aww.

She loves to tip over her forage box to make the food more accessible!

 

[Tulsi]

I just love her so much! Here she is in the sunlight happily walking onto my hand and having a good look around her home.

 

[Tulsi]

More from today.

 

[Socks' Mum]

Lovely girl

 

[Maz]

So happy for you Tulsi - it's wonderful! And her little face looking up at you on one of those photos - how could you not love her - she looks like she loves you too So incredibly sweet. It has made my heart flutter

 

[ilguy]

That is heart melting, what a sweet little baby Smart to tip over the box, and I love that pic of her looking up with the sun on her. Does she look for you when she comes out?

What a precious little ham

 

[Tulsi]

If I talk to her she will look around for me and she is really comfortable sitting on my hand and eating.

I gently lifted her up a tiny bit when she was on my hand today. No reaction. Did it again and gave her gentle strokies. She was just fine.

 

[Maz]

Lovely She sounds to have been very well hand tamed The one little female dwarf I had for a short time was like that too and her fosterer had done a great job.

 

[Tulsi]

She is rather keen on firmly nibbling my fingers. It is a tad un nerving but well worth it to have her sitting on my hand. She is so warm and soft and surprisingly sturdy for one so small.

 

[Tulsi]

More from my little gnasher. I decided that handing her mealworms would be a good anti bite precaution.

 

[hamster lover 123]

So lovely to see little Cindy settling in She is so sweet! My robo dwarf does the same thing sometimes, hopefully the mealworms work!

 

[Maz]

Aw - I hope the nibbling isn’t painful. She is indeed very sweet

 

[ilguy]

She's definitely trying to tell you something with those nibbles. It's possible it's her saying 'all done', or maybe there's other context clues to what she wants. What a great ham, it's fantastic she's being so polite and communicating with you. Doesn't seem scared of you

 

[Tulsi]

She doesn't break the skin when she nibbles although they are sometimes quite firm. She licks gently. I wonder if she thinks my hand is food. I only put a bit of food on now and wash my hands before putting them in the cage.

She came out and about again this morning, yey!

 

[Tulsi]

My tiny darling. She had a nice drink of water before doing a bit of parkour on the cage bars. I am going to have to rethink the layout a bit as she has been monkey barring on the top of the cage at night. Eek!

 

[Maz]

Your cage isn't that tall so she should be fine Maybe she's wanting to come out? Have a bit of out of cage time perhaps. She is as adorable as ever (and seems like she's settling in and full of energy!).

 

[ilguy]

The firm nibbles are 100% her trying to tell you something. Maybe she's trying to get a treat out of you, putting on the charm with those little licks after. Cindy is adorable, love seeing more of her
