*UPDATED!* Thomas is doing FANTASTIC!

[Black96WS6]

Hi! I'm so excited I don't know where to begin. Thomas has progressed even faster than I anticipated. He is completely used to me now and comes over and checks us out! I have some amazing pics to show, he is SO COOL!!

I have patiently been working with him, giving him a few hours of alone time coupled with 10-15, sometimes 30 minutes, of me being in the general sight of his den so he could see me, as well as showing him various objects to pique his curiosity.

It has finally paid off. FINALLY, his curiousity got the better of him, and he just HAD to come check out the ferret ball, blue pen, and some other objects I kept showing him. It also helped showing him me holding a crab so he would realize I am the one putting the food in the tank

Next post I start the pic parade

Here's the Ferret Toy that he couldn't stand just looking at from afar:

Here's Thomas, curious as usual about the strange blue thing I'm holding :

Here's Thomas enjoying the PVC pipe and, as usual, too curious for his own good about my silver camera :

And lastly, here's Thomas checking out the Ferret Toy again:

I'm happy as a clam! Err...Octopus!

Is that a hamster home you shoved in there??

Yep! It's a hamster tunnel loop that goes all the way around, I got it at Petco for 10 bucks. It's to help keep him from getting bored

Your pictures seem to have a slight blur in them, a tripod may help them a bit. He is very cool!@

Thanks! I know, I have the camera in 1 hand, a toy or object of interest in the other, and when I press the shutter button it inevitably moves the camera slightly just as the picture is taken (plus the flash is off, so that doesn't help either). :wink:
