Glitch now readily comes onto my lap when I sit right in front of the cage door, lets me stroke him and scratch behind his ears, and I give him oats after each brief interaction. It seems like he\u2019s starting to enjoy the petting.<\/p>\n<p>Kix also now comes all the way onto my lap, and I do brief touches with him before treating. He\u2019s not yet enjoying it yet, per se, but he doesn\u2019t shy away anymore.<\/p>\n<p>They have very distinct ideas about housekeeping in their cage. I provide packing paper to add interest to the cage. They\u2019ve begun ripping off pieces to add to their nest box. Tonight, Glitch was furiously trying to drag a large piece into the box, unsuccessfully. Funny to watch.<\/p>\n<p>Still somewhat fussy about healthy\/fresh food. Peas seem ok, and tomatoes. They ate some broccoli and cauliflower. Carrots are ignored, as are peppers and berries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 3\/13\/20:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today, Glitch decided on his own to climb from my lap up onto my shoulder and perch there for a while. It was such an honor!!<\/p>\n<p>Kix comes more readily onto my lap now, and seems fine with me petting him while he&#8217;s eating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 4\/18\/20:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They\u2019re confident and easy to handle and fairly active for boys, at least when out of the cage. They\u2019re completely unafraid of my chihuahua.<\/p>\n<p>I bought watermelon today and they decided that\u2019s acceptable. Love peas. Banana is so-so. Still pretty fussy, but I keep offering fresh stuff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kix<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/hosting.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2020%20Fosters\/Virginia%20D%20-%20Danbury%20CT\/Kix%20and%20Glitch\/kix1_zpsvf6knvgd.jpg\" width=\"399\" height=\"577\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/hosting.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2020%20Fosters\/Virginia%20D%20-%20Danbury%20CT\/Kix%20and%20Glitch\/kix2_zpsmrgrwvgp.jpg\" width=\"399\" height=\"565\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Glitch<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/hosting.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2020%20Fosters\/Virginia%20D%20-%20Danbury%20CT\/Kix%20and%20Glitch\/glitch1_zpsmkdsb7hj.jpg\" width=\"401\" height=\"808\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/hosting.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2020%20Fosters\/Virginia%20D%20-%20Danbury%20CT\/Kix%20and%20Glitch\/glitch_zpsm5hmzolm.jpg\" width=\"598\" height=\"400\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W83epBcZytA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These boys came to us on 2\/29\/20 because they were not allowed to stay at their owner&#8217;s home.
