Mr. Darcy, my younger chinchilla, got an eye infection that required treatment. Due to his 'illness' I haven't done any training with him for about a week and a half. Once his eye was healed, I worked on behaviors with him again. I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure what he would remember, if he would remember anything.
HE REMEMBERED EVERYTHING! It was like training had never stopped. I was so proud of him. I am curious and almost tempted to test his long term memory and go two weeks, but ah, I think that might be a little too mean, he does love his training sessions afterall.
These lovely little fuzz balls never cease to astound me. I can't wait to see what they will surprise me with next.
