Okay...finally have some time to type about Gigi. I'm going to try to keep it short, but I do tend to ramble, so I apologize.
Basically, she is not holdable, nor towelable. It's more like she's a bull, and you're the guy with the red cloth waving it in front of the rampant bull (I forget what those are called). After 45 minutes of trying to get her in her cage, I had to develop a plan which basically required Ryan getting her out of her little hiding spot by using one towel, while I waited, perched on top of the desk to descend from above with the much larger towel. Not the best way (actually, more like the worst)...but trust me...all other ways had been exhausted and it was getting very late.
It was a rocky start, but it's vastly improving. She was set up in the den, and we had a lot of trouble keeping her on her cage. We figured the den would be the best area for quarantine because she could still see the people and hear the noises...she just wouldn't be 'with' us. However she kept getting off of her cage and running into the living room every chance she got (which was every waking second of the day). We decided just to move her into the living room instead, and so far she hasn't gotten off of her cage at all. She's still about 20 feet away from Sisqo, so that's better than being right next to him, I guess.
She really does love food, especially if it's yours. She's between a chair and the couch. When I was sitting on the couch, talking to her and eating some food, she came right down...hanging as far off her cage as she could, and snatched it right out of my hand (It was peanut butter toast, so it was okay). Her previous owner only gave her pellets and fruit, so I think she may have a vitamin A deficiency. I thought it was going to be hard to get her to try new stuff, but she's all for it as long as she thinks it's yours.
So far I've been sitting next to her cage while I read, and giving her a sample of her food before I put it in her cage (surprisingly enough, she'll take it right out of your hand). Trying to build the whole trust thing, so I haven't yet tried to pet her or get her to step up on my hand. Although a couple times she did put up her one claw and let me rub it for a while. I noticed that she only does this with her claw that she has all the toes on...probably because since the other one already got hurt, she's afraid of something like that happening to it again.
We've gotten her to go into her cage at night now, but I think eventually our method is going to backfire. We pretty much just wait until she goes in (to get food, or a drink of water) and then close the cage door behind her. I'm afraid that eventually, she's not going to want to go into her cage because she doesn't want to be closed in, but right now, this is the least stressful (for her) way to get her in there. She gets really anxious when she sees a towel and starts breathing quite heavily (almost like she's hyperventilating). Any other ideas on how to get her in there? Every night, I make sure that she sees me towel Sisqo, and that he gets a treat after, so that way she might see that it's not all that bad.
I'm almost done, but I also wanted to say that I've noticed that when I come into the living room, she runs back and forth across her cage a bunch of times, and it's the same thing when she sees her food bowl coming. I kind of think it's a sign that she DOES want to come off her cage and interact, but is just still too scared. What do you all think?
Opinions and advice would be greatly appreciated. Once again, sorry it's so long...but I did go through and omit ALOT already. Hahaha
I guess that after you do something she might consider stressful, like toweling or getting her into her cage just get really excited about it and give her some food that she really likes to turn it into a positive experience. I'm sure once you've convinced her to step up, everything else will also be monumentally easier...Again, just MHO...best of luck
