Welcome the newest member of the rescue gang, Ares!
Ares is a 6 month old (approx) robo who was up from for rehoming because he was "too fast" for his original owners.
Since being here he's really come out of his shell and is interacting more with people. He's very curious and will often follow you around the cage to see what you're doing.
He's in a 100x50cm tank style enclosure and he uses every bit of it, something that I think he didn't have before given his reaction to being put in there initially. He'd only use the space of a shoebox and took him a few days to realise that all of that was for him.
Ares waits patiently for his 'treats' on top of his reptile hide and if I take too long he'll start pacing and come up to the glass and stare at me. Ares will happily take food from my hand and loves sunflower and pumpkin seeds, but really looks forward to his weekly treat of a coriander leaf.
Recently I have been able to stroke him within the cage. We're not happy being picked up by hand yet but will happy go into a jar or cup to be picked up.
I don't understand why he was given up as he's actually pretty slow. While he does do 'zoomies' on his wheel, he only does a leisurely walk around his cage.
The only other time he's shown his speedy side is when our first out of cage taming session went wrong and he ended up under my bed.
