It's been a week

Well it's been a week and although progress is very slow it's still progress.

The shampoo came and we bathed the 2 girls. Husband put a cage together for me as we did it overnight and kept them in so they wouldn't be cold in the night. Bathed Bessie first, the one i thought would be a pain. She was very calm and it was surprisingly easy. Was shampoo, rinse, shampoo, leave for 5 minutes, rinse so all in all a 10 minute thing. Gypsy fought like mad (I thought it would be the other way around). But both girls were done and the next day WOW they had the glossiest most beautiful hair I have ever seen. It was beautiful, really gorgeous, shiny, healthy - lovely.

They were so clearly miserable in the cage. They ate their veggies and stuff in the night but the morning food by lunchtime was still untouched so I gave the hutch a proper clean and put them back out.

Bessie had to have a cream on a balding spot on her back 3 times a day yesterday and I held Gypsy for a good 10 minutes in the night. Neither of them freaked out too bad either. Hopefully now i can handle them alot and they will calm down a bit.

It's chucking it down outside today so I plan on bringing them in again in their cage. A few hours a day in the cage and maybe they will start to get used to indoors too - the noise and feel of indoors. Come winter they will live indoors so I hope they start to get used to indoors.

More soon
