So I'm super excited! Yesterday I bought some really good grapes from the super market. And Mickey seemed unusually interested in what I was eating. So I went over and gave him a grape and he ate it like this was his first meal in days. So afterwards I see him over on his cage with his foot outstretched saying "step up" (I didn't even know he could say that).
Mickey finally stepped up.. Granted, he might've just really wanted another grape, but I felt like this was great progress.

Good for Mickey! Guess he was waiting to surprise you:D He must've really appreciated that grape.
