He's getting more confident now and almost comes when he's called.
I still want to get another pair so I can either get two pairs, or one group of four.

Today I introduced him to a small piece of hazelnut, which went down well.
I have noticed, however, that at treat time, he crams them all in his mouth at the same time, before running of to eat or hide them. Not sure if this is normal for adolescent goos or not. He certainly knows how to eat and will camp on the food pile for ages, lol.
On the plus side, they now both nap next to each other during the day, albeit in separate cages.

Wonderful!! WOOHOO!! Maybe in his past he has experienced slim pickings, or something he doesn't like very much, so he is fearful of too little or of losing what he likes so much now that he is in your home and has such tasty food.

OK, ntg has just been to see us, and we think Reggie may be Regina! So it looks like I may end up with two groups.
Small wonder Dixie has perked up, lol.

Lol I think we need pictures! Sounds like they may have sorted the problem for you with the patter of tiny paws?

Fortunately they're still separate, lol.

Your caution really paid off there! Would two groups be OK for you? Difficult to know where would be best to start with the friend finding.

I could, after the move and refurbishment is completed, have two groups.
But I would need to get a 3rd cage.

Spoke to the pet shop where Reggie had been living and they confirmed s/he had been living alone for 5 months so hopefully there won't be pups! They admitted that they had taken the previous owners word that Reggie was a boy and not checked themselves and s/he had been with his brothers for 24 hours when s/he went 'rogue' and started attacking the cage mates.
Given the ages involved etc, I think the others were male and poor Reggie was having to fight them off.
Anyway, be Reggie a boy or girl, s/he is welcome here.

S/he is certainly adorable and very confident though! Straight up to see me, had a little nibble of my finger and is just a lovely little nutter, even if s/he keeps falling off the wheel

S/he is getting better on the wheel now, but still going for the stuttering jog instead of the smooth running. Introduced a whole hazelnut in the shell earlier, was fun to watch poor Reggie trying to pick it up, lol.
Ntg, apologies for my neighbour accosting you over the car, he really a not keep out of anything, lol.
Dixie is now self cleaning right next to him/her so I think it's odds on that Reggie is Regina.

ROFL! My boys used to have "group" sessions, where they'd sort of sit in a circle and go for it. I'd . . . leave the room.

And now Regina is chasing Dixie all over the place and calling to him (barking). Good job it's separate cages with a gap between.
I think the presence of Dixie and caused her to come on heat because she is seriously after his body. Oh dear, lol.

Reggie has just broken cover for the day. I went to bed at 3 am and left her wheeling and calling for Dixie; she's off to see Wendy the vet later in the week for a health check and sex confirmation. But she's spent most of the day in bed, even to the point of me having to tap the den to wake her every few hours, each time she's been ferously hungry, so I think she's just exhausted herself.
Dixie just ignored her calls and carried on sleeping - he's such a bloke! But no chance of him sleeping now she's up and about, lol.

Today she has calmed down a bit. I left the kitchen light on last night as I realised that she may not be used to total darkness.
Off to the vet tomorrow for her MOT!
