So I promised I would post pics of Atlas as soon as I could, and I did manage to get one, but the poor little baby is still terrified and wants to hide under his hammock and his pillow so that was all I could get of him, well, besides the half dozen ones of his tail or just an ear since he would move at the last second. He is doing well, eating and drinking a little but still not sure of his surroundings. When we're around he stays on the bottom of the cage but at night (he's in my bedroom) I can hear him jumping around and in the morning the upper shelves are full of poop. He's such a little cutie pie, I'm so happy to have him.

That second pic turned out good! Glad he is doing well... Im sure in a few days he will have settled down some and wont be as afraid! Keep me updated!
 
Haha thanks guys. This morning I woke up and he was sniffing at me (his cage is right next to my side of the bed). I held out my hand and he sniffed it and then ate some food and then ran out under the hammock again but at least he's coming out now. I will keep you updated. And of course more pics to come :)
 
He will get used to you! When I first got Wesley he would just go and hide behind his wheel-and even though he and Mick were weaned together and in the cage together he would just cry and cry and cry and it would break my heart! Now he zips all over the place, he comes right up to me when I open the cage door and he's not shy or bashful at all lol!

I love your boy! violets are so cute!
 
Here are a few more pics of Atlas. When I talk to him he comes out of hiding and listens to me, but if my husband comes by he darts into hiding again. He loves to wallsurf, and to stand on top of his fleece cubie buddy and look tall. He is now sleeping on top of his fleece pillow instead of just hiding under it haha. He is a very handsome little fellow, and he LOVES dust baths. My other 2 roll a couple of times and peek out, but he rolls continously for a long time and stops just long enough to wipe his nose really quick. They are so much fun :)

He looks great! Glad you're having so much fun with him! Told you he liked his baths! lol

Haha you definitely weren't kidding. He's great. Thanks for introducing me to all of your chins, they were all so gorgeous. He's a wonderful little guy and I love him.
 
Here's one I took of him the other day. He just got his little Spongebob bed and he loves it, as you can tell. I love how he comes up to me when I talk to him. Zim and Jemma only do it if they think I have treats haha.

Speaking of Jemma I took her to the vet for follow up on her ringworm and EVERYONE loved her and she loved the attention haha. Her hair has almost entirely grown back and she is doing much better, so just wanted to say thanks to all of you guys on here who helped me, the Blu Kote makeover certainly helped tons :thumbsup:
