New Agouti Nethie

R

As per my 'Should I, Shouldn't I' thread I have just (this morning) taken on a young male Agouti Nethie. He is ever so cute but going through a mega moult so looking a bit raggedy!

Classic (sad) story, 2 males bought, one male then promptly gave birth. Babies & mum sold at some point & dad left by himself. Kids lost interest, dogs paid more attention to him than the family did ("he loves the dogs" - he looked petrified when they barked).

On the plus side his hutch was nice and clean and kept well, he looks healthy based on a very brief check, he's currently on muesli which I will slowly switch to pellets. Since he's been home (about 30 mins) he's been out for a good explore and a drink of water but he is certainly liking the carrier. I can see I'm going to have to be patient with resocialising him, poor boy!

He will be booked into the vets for his Vacc's (and a good nail trim, I got a good scratch as a thank you for picking him up to put him in the carrier) next Saturday at which point I will also be looking to book his neuter.

Now I just need to come up with a suitable regal name for him! Photos to follow later.

I remember getting my bridge bun, Nessarose, and being horrified as her ex-owner got her yorkie to jump in Nessa's hutch with her to show 'what good friends they are'. Nessa, too, was cowering. What are people thinking?

Hope he settles well. I suggest Zeus, because what's more regal than the Greek God of Gods?
 
So pleased that he's found a good home with you, hope he settles in well and looking forward to pics.
 
How's this for a moult! I actually think he will be a chocolate colour underneath. I do think he needs to gain some weight.

He also needs to learn not to bite my toes!

A very impressive moult indeed !! He's lovely :love:

He's actually a Lynx Nethie, rather than an Agouti :)
 
Nicholas says hiiii :) thanks Jacks-Jane, looking at his colouring this afternoon I knew I had it wrong! I am going to have to get somewhere near him soon so I can help him comb his moult out - there's a heck of a lot of fur to go!

In good news - we have had both poops (little golden ones) and mini binkies (which I think broke my heart into tiny pieces!) this afternoon. He is settling in well so far.

Look forward to hearing how Nicolas weevils his way into your heart and life :love:
 
He's very handsome and will be even more so after he's finished his moult. Sounds like he's wheedled his way into your heart already!
