Faerdae as most of you know was one of my Wildlings. She was one of my returnee Wildlings who weren’t as socialized as my original crew and were given back to me 1 year after they were adopted. :( She came back a teeny, timid and very unhandleable girl. But she was happy with her family so I let her be herself. The Wildlings seemed to have some serious heart issues and one by one left me until only Faerdae and Laila were left.
After her sister stealing her carrot, Faerdae finally got hers!
And a little story to end Faerdae’s chapter in my life. Last Tuesday, I had the Wildlings in the bathroom while I cleaned their cage. I washed out the base in the tub and then left to go dry it and set their cage back up.
I went back to sit with the 2 girls and found them in the tub. The sides were wet and they kept trying to get out. I knew then my Wildlings were old, since the insane spring of 2’ in the air was gone. I reached down and lifted out the friendlier girl Laila. Then I gritted my teeth and reached to scoop up Faerdae. Faerdae was so scared she could bite like a demon. She had gotten loose previously and I had to catch her and hold her while she bit my hands 7 times… :?
Waiting for the crunch, I was surprised when she did a small protesting wiggle and then stayed still in my hands! I put her on the floor where she started to groom the nasty wet off of herself, then she decided to climb my leg and sit in my lap!!! She sat there and groomed, and I very gently stroked her…first time EVER!
I cried and told her “thank you, thank you!”
I think that was my farewell gift from my teeny little Wildgirl. :*heart*
And now Laila is alone.
