Hi I was told he is Choclate Pinto his mum was albino and his dad was Choclatey (not sure of the correct name lol) Alfies got some white patches on his back in a sort ot U shape,he's already shedding alot of quills but doesnt seem to be bothering too much xx

He's lovely Louise. The White patches are what gives him the Pinto part. With regards to his quilling, just remember to keep up handling and loving him through what can be a tough little time for them.

Can't wait to see more photies of him!

Here another piccy of Alfie having fun on his wheel! Cant believe we have already had him nine days already he's certainly part of the family now, there is a quick question you might be able to help me with, I get him out every night and we have put him in his playpen but he doesnt seem to explore just stays in one place he seems to like sitting on my lap and is quite content to be stroked I can even stroke his furry tummy he will take mealworms by hand but he doesnt walk around on me at all just wondering if this is quite normal ?. I know he is very active when we have gone to bed as he has usually rearranged his cage he's eating,drinking and pooing fine maybe he's just a lazy boy or maybe its still because he's still a baby ( 9weeks) be gratefull for any advice thanks xx

Hey .. he looks like a chocolate pinto to me ...can i suggest getting him a bigger wheel that one is far to small for him ..x you will need at least a 12 inch wheel ...x

He is lovely, sounds like he loves his cuddles

I would also suggest a 12 inch wheel Louise, be much better for him.

Lovely pic xx

He is absolutely gorgeous Louise.

My Ernie just stays asleep and never ventures anywhere when I get him out, even in the ball pool thing I use for his exercise, he does the same as your Alfie, just stays in one place. However, when I get up of a morning, his toys are everywhere and you can tell he's been on all kinds of adventures through the night! He's just a real night owl!

Puddin' on the other hand just does not stop once she's out, even in her bonding bag, she just keeps sticking her nose out ready to come out for a run around!

Thanks for your replies regarding the wheel feel bad now will get a bigger one ASAP do you think I should take that one out I dont want him to do himself any harm or will it be ok till we get a replacement ? I thought I was so organised with everything aswell xx
