Introducing my little girl!

[Shadow]

Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce you all my chinchilla Shadow! She is currently recovering from a hind leg amputation hence the bandage in the photo of her chilling in her cage. The second photo is of her asleep on my chest she is awesome and doing really well after her operation!

I'm glad everything went well for Shadow! Can I ask how did you manage to have her sleep on you? I have never been able to do that.

She has only been sleeping on me since after the operation. One evening I had just finished giving her the medication, gave her a little stroke and then suddenly she hopped under my dressing gown (the fleecy red thing in the photos!). There was a little opening and she explored around for a bit before settling down. I didn't touch her just left her too it until she eventually stirred and I put her back in her cage. Now each evening I have been wearing the same red fleece and picking up her, and she hops right in when I open it! I think it started because it was easier for her to lie down because I could support her so she didn't put any pressure on the operation site.

Here is another photo of her resting on me
