Well, I am just a little bit confused on what Ishould do. My cousin has two baby dutch's and offered me one as aChristmas Gift. At first I was a little iffy on what I should do. I sawthis little one and she is abeauty! I do infact want a friendfor Pepsi, my little Netherland but that thought never came across mymind until my cousin offered me the little dutch.
I have enoguh supplies, the cage is big enough, everything is great i'mjust not sure. The babies are cute, but I'm wondering if I should getan adult rather then a baby. Then I know it's personality as with thebaby I'm not for sure.
Pepper is not spayed but has never shown any agression EVER. She onlydoes love nips when my skin smells like soap. She loves to cuddle up toEVERYthing- towels, my arm, my face.. EVERYTHING. I'm not worried abouther, as she tends to run and hide if she's not sure, rather then getmad and fight back and she is very gentle. She is a little over a yearold (Her birthday was this past October).
What should I do? Should I accept the gift, or wait for an adult? Orshould I just leave her on her own? If you think I should, do you mindposting any links about bonding?
She has never shown any acts of agression or being territorial, I'mjust worried if the baby matures and become terrirotial. I'll feelawful if the baby hurts Pepsi. If the baby is raised with an adult frombeing young, is this a problem?
Sooo sorry for the long post, just REALLY not sure. And also, can youreply ASAP because i'll have to make my choice tomorrow :S. I reallyneed some input from the forum!
