Title: *UPDATE* He's staying with me!
Post by: zoocrew26 on December 22, 2007, 06:40:10 PM
I got my little boy, Gideon, about a month ago. He is somewhere between 8 and 10 months old.
He is a bit on the cautious side, and will squeak when you pick him up, but once he's in your arms, he'll sit to be petted, and he'll brux.

The reason why he might be needing a new home, is that my other boys aren't quite accepting him, and are making him a very nervous little guy. When i first introduced them, Gideon was the one who went up to them and tried to challenge them and fought them, but that stopped after about 2 days. And since then, they pretty much isolate him. Everyone ignores him except for Oreo, and Oreo only interacts with him, to torment him. Oreo will go up to him and push him down and make him squeak, and then they start to fight. I know that it's normal behavior to determine the pecking order, but it has been going on for awhile, and Oreo is hairless, so everytime they fight, Oreo winds up getting a gash or 2 on his skin.  :BlueDumboBigEyes:
And i feel bad for Gideon, because he just isn't fitting in....

SO...if things don't get better, i might see if i can find Gideon a better home, with younger, calmer boys....
I still haven't decide yet, whether it would be best to put him up for adoption, but i just thought i'd see if there would even be anyone interested in giving my handsome little sweetheart a good home.

Here are some pics of him:
