Nigel Update

So - how about a littlest critter update?  We haven't had one of those in awhile.  Nigel is doing great.  Health-wise he has had no issues.  He has a predictable schedule each day where I get him out during the day to hang out wherever we are even though he is sleeping.  He gets his treats of bugs and occasionally some fresh fruits, veggies and yogurt.

From a tameness perspective things are going pretty well.  He is okay with being passed around to strangers and he lets me get through maintenance items like ear cleanings and nail clippings with little fuss.  He has the occasional bath but not so often as he has gotten older - he is a big boy who can take care of himself.

He very much enjoys playing downstairs where he has lots of room to run around and investigate.  All in all things with the little guy are going great!
