While waiting for my father to stop in for my birthday, I thought I would post some pictures and give a little update for everyone!

I love both my chins dearly... but Momo and I definitely have the better relationship. Not only is he more comfortable around humans in general, but he loves to be held. I have never had such a good relationship with a rodent before. I've had some good hamsters in the past, but this guy is just the best little dude.

He is seriously the happiest little fluff! He always popcorns when he's getting out of his dust bath during play time, then he takes off bouncing towards me. His ears go down when he does it, and it looks so funny since his fur is so fluffy... they push it down and it just looks silly. XD

We play this game where I sit by the cage and he jumps into my hands/lap. I put him back, and he shoots at me like a torpedo... demanding that I hold him some more. I'm sure he would happily do this for hours. When I give in and stop him, I must hold him back while I close the cage. The puff will use his little hands and push mine out of the way so he can try and sneak out before I close the door. He will then proceed to beg me for more attention. He is just so precious and I love him to bits!!

The first picture of him is my current favorite♥

So... Chilly has been quite sassy recently. I think he's in his bratty stage, because he's just full of opinions. He still loves his head and belly rubbed, and chin scratches are a must... But he still won't let me hold him. He's obviously not afraid of me, just the action of being held. He still hops on my shoulder, but it hasn't been as frequent. The butthole knows when I want to take photos of him and he hasn't been cooperating. The only time I tend to get good ones is when he is in his tube... So literally almost all of them look the same. ._. He's making this sooooo difficult. I did actually get a shot of him in his hammock! He acts like it doesn't exist, but I lured him in it and got the perfect picture. He stayed in there for like three seconds and hopped out. XD

cute chins!
My most personable chins hates being picked up as well.
I rarely get a response like that from any of my chins in there tube. For some reason they are so overly defensive and protective of there tube..

What is that white strip in the second picture in the first post? Looks like Styrofoam?
 
They're not defensive with anything, unless it's Chilly being possessive over his cage when Momo is close.

Styrofoam? Lol. Do you mean the fleece?
 
Yup, that's just his fleece Lol.
It's actually a light blue. I always use a solid color on the bottom of the liner. Usually the solid color goes farther down than that but that one is a bit crooked. :p
