Default My new horsfield (Pic heavy)

Here some pics, tell me what you think. He/ she is still pretty small!









I actually think that horsfields should be DWA! Look at this vicious attack!

Excuse my fingernails, they could do with a trim!
Has a little sniff!


And bites!


Didn't hurt tho! Too little at the moment. I think he/she was hungry. At this age they want to try and eat everything!

The other day he hissed at me like a snake. Really quitely but it was defo a hiss! And then he tried to bite in anger.

In the pic tho I think he was just trying to see whether my finger was edible. So far he has tried to eat my finger, my duvet, the fake plants in the viv that he is temparily living in even a plate!!

I do love Horsfields - mine's a right grumpy ole beggar, he likes to frown a lot

When he makes that hissing noise its cos he's pulled his head in really fast and its the air coming out - sounds weird dont it? Mine does it too

Really that is very interesting, I thought it was a normal hiss just like a snake or some lizards will do. So it is basically a neck fart!
