Ups & Downs..

Good afternoon folks,

Last night was a bit of a stressful night compared to Sunday. Ruby was very unsettled and cried constantly from about 2am-5am and it was frantically trying to get out of the cage. Nothing we did seemed to be stopping it from crying either :( We tried leaving it for a while to see if she'd calm - still mewing, I went in and sat on the sofa - still mewing, tried spoonfeeding it - it hissed at me, tried playing with its toys - hissed again!

Eventually, after I'd been lying on the floor right next to its cage, it started to go asleep so I came back to bed. It carried on mewing for a little bit, but quietly and eventually stopped and we managed to get a little bit of sleep.

This morning it's been mewing still, but seems a lot more confident, it's not cowering at the back of the cage but rather climbing around it - obviously still looking for a way out!

It's been spoon-feeding though, and it even took some food from Jon's finger. I had a little nap and when I woke up, Jon told me he'd managed to put his hand in and give her a bit of a stroke although it took a long while.

So yeah, it's been a bit up and down since last night, but we're still determined!

If anyone has any advice on the crying/mewing thing and how we should tackle it, it would be greatly welcomed!
