shelf

The shelf and ramp I ordered for Reese's cage arrived today.  It's a little smaller that the cage, but I'll see what I can do to fix that.  I'm not putting it in today.  I need to wash it first, and then I'll put it in when I clean his cage on Sunday.  I hope he'll like it.

Reese is learning his name.  I've had him come up to me when I call him.  It's only been a couple of times, but he seems to realize that's what his name is.  He's also getting more used to me.  He'll come up to the bars to sniff my fingers.  He still runs sometimes when I try to pet him, but more often he stays still and lets me pet him. 

He really loves being held.  I'll sit down, plop him on my chest, and he'll instantly snuggled himself into my neck.  I don't seem to have as much of a reaction now.  The area will still get a little red, but that might be from his claws digging into my neck.  When I put him back in the cage, he jumps, runs around, and makes happy noises. 

And I'm pretty sure he's twice the size he was when I got him last week!  But he's only a couple months old, so I guess he'll be growing fast over the next few months.
