Well first thing to report is that she is not quite a PEW, as she has the smallest brown smudge on her nose, so she is technically a himi but I am going to call her my wannabe himi as she really looks PEW. LOL
Secondly, it seems the owner gave her up for her biting, and then she was with the snake and his owner for a week, and bit the snake as well, prompting the ad. The snakeowner said to Minnieflower that he had NO idea why she was taking her as she was going to get bitten LOL
When Minnie showed up and I pulled out the newly named Bria (she reminded me of my beloved Bronwen so she got a "b" name), she was very nervous of handling, but I just kept reassuring her, kissing her, and talking to her. At first I had to hold her with more restraint as Minnie and I had met outside in this lovely park and I didn't want to lose her. Finally she stopped stressing and her body language relaxed, and her nose went into the air and she started calmly smelling all the delightful smells in the park. She was cuddled down in my arms, loving the stroking...just a sweet sweet girl.
We are home now and ALL she wants to do is explore. She went from my lap, to the desk, to the bed, and is now running on the floor, but is easy to pick up. The only issue right now is she's a bit puffy and is rubbing on everything...sigh :roll: Introductions later on could be *interesting* as she's been a lone rat all her life.
She's beautiful, but she does stink of urine...
and very much a girl
