He doesn't have a name yet... it's between Oliver and Benjamin... I can't decide!

Anyway, he is super friendly and curious. During 'playtime' in my room he runs in circles at top speed! And then he'll come back to me ever once in a while and sniff me, or chew my pants legs. And I'm so proud of him - he already uses the litter pan to pee every time! ^_^

I have some questions though. First, does he need a bed or something in his cage? I had a cardboard box in there the first day, but then he peed in it and I had to throw it out. But maybe he wouldn't do that anymore since he has the litter pan now?

And second, is this brush okay for him? He's a rex. Or do I need a different kind?


And also, he's scared to death of the vaccuum! I had to vaccuum my room today, and he was curled up in his litterpan the whole time. Should I put a towel over his cage or something when I vaccuum?

And also, his cage is on a table, to keep him away from Daphne. But I read about how when he gets playtime he should be able to go in and out of his cage as he likes. Now I just take him out and put him back. But if I had his cage on the floor I wouldn't be able to let Daphne in my room. Should I just do that? Or is it okay for his cage to be up on a table?

Okay, stay tuned for pictures in the next post! ^_^
