My New Room mate










One week ago, my mother brought home a squirrel which was kept in a cage. Its name was Layla and it was a she. My mum brought her back because a student who was going back to the States for summer asks us to help her take care of her.


Layla is a very tame pet. She has been taken care of for 3 years. That must have been since she was a baby. She always stays in her little pouch. As she is a nocturnal creature, she only comes out to play at night. Once, her crying kept me up the whole night cos I slept at 1 (She's not sad or hungry. That's just the sound she makes). I took her to the living room and scolded her. She actually understood me and stop crying and did not make anymore noise for the whole night except run around her cage.


She eats worms and apples. Quite a good pet. Her cage does not have to be cleaned often and she does not need to take a bath often too. If u take her out of her cage, she will run around but if u hold her pouch and ask her to come back to u, she will obediently run into her pouch or her cage.
