So I'm sitting in Tink's pen with her, as I do nightly, and she likes to go under my legs and sit. Tink really likes her tunnels and small places, so when I'm with her she will insist on sitting under my legs. I had my levi's on, and Tink decided she wanted to try something new. She climbed up inside my pantleg, up to my knee - and stayed there! I tried to get her to climb back out, but she wouldn't. I tried to gently shake her out without breaking one of her little legs, but she tried to climb up even higher. At this point it is pretty tight and I'm beginning to worry that she is really stuck. I ended up having to take my pants off most of the way to get her back out! She is such a character.

I haven't posted any pictures of her in this forum and finally got around to doing so. It is hard to take great spur of the moment pictures of her, because as soon as she sees the camera, she runs for it and starts pulling on it, trying to take it from me. Here's the best I could do.

Tink's favorite treat, apple sticks from our own apple trees

Aren't you going to come play with me?

Yes, I know I'm adorable, put the camera away!

Ok. I'll just sit here until you're ready to come and play!

In that second picture i definitely see the look of "pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssseeeee" in her eye.

Such a pretty girl.
 
so cute!!! and that pants story was great lol...she definitely is a character!! :)
 
Tink is beautiful! In the 3rd pic she's definitely had enough, I too love her markings.
 
Oh Jenn, Tinkerbell is gorgeous! My sister's chinchilla ran up her pants leg too awhile ago, but it was pajama pants. So not as tight! I bet her fur was real soft against your leg!
 
Thank you! Tinkerbell definitely has a huge part of my heart. What ever she wants, she gets! If I try to get into her pen with her with camera in hand, she goes after the straps! It's very hard to get a really good picture of her. And whenever I give her an apple stick, she grabs it from me and runs to her cage and into her house to munch on it. I guess she thinks I might take it back from her...When she's up and about and sees me, she'll stand and stare at me through her pen, until I feel guilty enough to give up what I'm doing and go visit with her. She controls me!! But that's why we love them so much, right?! :)
