I just got finished medicating Ruffle this morning, but afterward, I decided I should spend a little more quality time with her since I medicated her a bit early and she seemed pretty awake. So I sat next to her cage, opened the door, and waited, talking to her softly. She was a little timid at first (this usually means she's going to get more medication), but eventually came around to investigating why she was going to get more medication and assist feed.
Eventually, she got brave and sat on top of her log and pawed towards the door, eventually perching on the threshold. I don't want her jumping out, so I put my hand out in front of her, which initially scared her, but being the unflappable little girl she is, she came back, sniffed, and sat in my hand. What followed next was her cuddling, sniffing, grooming my fingers, and asking for chin and belly scritches.
I'm so excited, as she's been fairly timid around me (I usually let her calm down and hide on her own after medicating her), and I was so worried that I had lost so much progress in bonding with her. I'm glad to know that she still knows the Big Scary Man still has her best interests at heart.
Note: The pictures below aren't from this morning; I was too enamored to think of taking any pictures, but here are some of my favorites that I've taken of her so far.
