My new rescue

[waldo]

This is the young ball I picked up yesterday after she was abandoned. She likes to try and bite which is a new experience for me, never met a defensive ball before. She did take a small mouse today, I'll give her a week and then start on taming.

Great job on the rescue, she is very pretty. Give her a good 14 days or so to settle in. Keep feeding if she'll take it, but I wouldn't start handling her too much for a while. I bet she settles right down in no time at all.

She's a pretty bp. Congrats on the rescue.

Thanks I had expected her to be in much worse condition but it appears she was taken care of decently. I am worried about how cold she was though, all she has was a small slightly warm heat rock and the heat was off in the house with temps around 35*.

All I have for food right now are F/T mice about the size of her head. I'll be getting adult mice next week but in the mean time, should I offer her multiples of the ones I have or is smaller meals the way to go for now?

[Slim]

No harm in offering her multiples. She'll either take them or not.

No harm in offering her multiples. She'll either take them or not.

Agreed!!! Nice job on the rescue too

Congratulations on the rescue! I think you should name her Lucky!

i agree with slim i bet she will settles down very quickly

She is settling in nicely. I just took her out for a quick hold and she didn't strike or shy away at all. Think I might take her out for a soak tomorrow, the humidity here is really low and she looks a bit dried out.
