So how big is she at the moment Naomi? And how big is she likely to get?

at the moment she's about 3 and a half inches, so is her tail so thats about 7 inches in total - in adulthood she should double this size, they reach up to 14 inches including their tail which is half their over all size!!
Main differences between her and the gerbils are (a) her eye seem a lot bigger (b) her ears are definately bigger than the gerbils (c) her tail is longer and not as furry-looking (d) her fur is VERY soft like chasmere and (e) she's not as curious as the gerbils.
I thought she's be interested when I put my hand in but she dashes away as quickly as she can, she really is terrified of me. If anyone else has experience with jirds could they let me know if this is "normal?"
I'm dying to make friends with her but I don't like frightening her so at the moment I'm chatting to her through the glass - she's quite happy to sit and listen to me as long as I don't put my hand in.

Have you tried the old trick 'sunny seed' bribery yet? So what happens if you just leave your hand in there for ages (apart from it going numb of course ) have you tried that yet? Might be worth a try if you have 20 mins to spare one day Caroline
