I've recently acquired a lutino lennie this past week and even with extensive research about the breed, I've found myself still asking questions.
1) Suki (my lennie) has adjusted to her new home quite well, however she doesn't seem interested in any of the toys in her cage and rarely even touches them. Is it normal for them to not be playful?
2) She is incredibly hand shy which I have read is to be expected, but is there any hope for her to become trainable enough to take her out of the cage? I've taken her out a few times, but she doesn't seem to like it.
3) I've misted her with a spray bottle a few times and she runs away and acts scared of the water. I don't spray it too close or in her face, and the setting is very gentle as to not hurt her. I was confused by this behavior because I have read that lennie's absolutely love to get wet.
4) I feed her seed as opposed to pellets, and I've noticed that she kicks most of it out, covering the cage floor with wasted seed. Is she just picking out what she likes or is this a behavioral problem?
I may be overreacting too much, but I worry over every little thing that seems to be out of the ordinary. I just want her to be healthy and happy in her new home. Please feel free to answer one or more of these questions, I would really appreciate it, thanks!
