When we got to the breeders', there was only one baby left...thankfully, it was bright, alert, friendly. It's down to two feedings a day and the breeders really believed that with our schedules, the two feedings a day would work...so it came home with us :)
(It was older than I thought. I thought they said they had hatched in late Feb/early March, but it's actual hatch date was 1/21.)
At my request, THEY clipped it's nails and did the DNA sample and clipped it's wings for us (so the baby didn't have to associate those things with us right off the bat). It's a 2-1/2 hour drive from their house to ours, so Scott and I split the driving, with me spending the first hour with the baby.
It's a real snuggler, and very trusting of us...had no difficulty trusting me enough to take a nap on my chest :)
It will be called baby or sweetie until such time as we get the DNA results back, and then we'll pick out a name.
