Dust Baths?

[charlotte21]

Eventually got our 3 Goos yesterday thanks to Nicky (thank you so much... best Christmas Present ever), got them in there cage and there settling in very well.

Gave them there dust bath this morning but they seemed very reluctant to get in it, 2 jumped in and then jumped straight back out, is there any way of getting them to clean them selves or do you just have to wait?

any advice will be happily accepted

thanks Lee & Charlotte

pics of our new Goos will be posted soon

your very welcome ;D

They did have sand baths here, so maybe they just need to settle in a little?

Glad you both got back ok x

I think they usually pick it up as they go along, when I first got my boys they didn't really understand how to use a sand bath, but learnt quickly. Probably need to settle in a bit more perhaps too.

I'm sure they will get the hang of it soon and love giving themselves a back! My boys didn't seem that interested but now they can't get enough of it.. infact that reminds me, I need to go take their bath out haha.

Woo Chestnut just had his first dust bath and the others had a quick jump in and out but I'm that the'll follow suit...

Yup! You'll get to see them having the "dust flip" move that seems to be almost a reflexive reaction to the sight/smell of another goo having a dust bath. It's so funny!
