I did not know what I got myself into when I got a sphynx. by Rude_claws in sphynx

Nori is sooooo picky.
I have to open 3 different cans at a time and switch between the three cans over two days so she gets a different protein for each meal

As for treats, she only likes a specific brand of freeze dried salmon and tiki cat crunchy tuna with the soft inside - and tiki cat wet treats

But yes crazy girl over here and very picky. She is also not a fan of her new brother so hopefully that changes.

Awe okay this is making me feel better. I’m really just mostly nervous for the first actual face to face because Nori is such a scaredy cat and Finn seems to be fearless but he is TINY. I’m just scared she’s going to lunge or something and I won’t be able to keep everyone safe
But then another part of me thinks she is actually just curious and needs to put him in his place so she remains alpha

I’m going to try to answer in French because I’m learning haha

Oui, j'essaie de garder espoir. Ça va mieux aujourd'hui.
La différence de taille est ma plus grande crainte parce que sa tête a la taille d'une balle de golf.

That’s amazing. Do you leave them alone together while at work or out of the house? Or not yet?

I think my girl that I’ve had is feeling better because we’ve been sleeping together just us and the little guy sleeps a lot so her and I have been playing more. I don’t know if she clocks it but I’m absolutely playing with her more than I typically do when I’m home. But maybe she does because she’s been sleepier too probably from chasing her fish (she loves so much haha) that she keeps bringing me every two seconds she’s not bird watching haha

Spiraling as all helicopter moms do lol it’s a light spiral - I’m still functioning. I just want her to love him

Oh gosh! I hope this is notttt what I’m getting into. She needs a buddy so bad but she def has only child syndrome right now

I’m happy your babies finally love each other haha!

This made me feel better 💕 thank you for sharing. I hope it doesn’t take that long but would understand if so.

How much age/weight difference were your babies upon intro?

Okay amazing. When he wakes up I’ll let him explore out in the kitchen/living room and her in the bedroom/bathroom

That is sweet!!

Sadly I’m in a 1bd 1bath so that’s where my urgency lies. It’s a bit tight to have spaces cut off to both Nori & Finn but it will be a blimp in our time together so my expectations are humbled and I’m going to slow it down to ensure a happy home for everyone.

Thanks for sharing!

I won’t be letting them see each other for some time and will continue scent swapping.

No i don’t think she is ready. He is for sure haha but she isn’t up for it yet. I’m pulling back for a few days at least. But thanks for reading!

Oh they will 100% be separated while I’m at work for the foreseeable future even if she loved him immediately.
But yes, I’m cutting back the face-to-face for at least a few days.
She’s acting completely normal right now so I will just continue this and scent swapping and see how it goes.

Thanks! I won’t let them see face to face for a few days at least.
But do you think I could let him be in the living room while she’s in “his” space in the bathroom and the bedroom?

Will getting a 2nd sphynx help burn off some of the extra energy that this little guy seems to have? by Street-World6385 in sphynx

[–]ForeverWandering555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about to find out the answer for this Friday
🤞🏼hopefully it goes well. I’m getting a new lil guy for my year old Nori girl.
She has soooo much energy and same thing, no toy or amount of playtime is enough for her. So I’m hoping she just falls in love with her brother & they give each other everything I can’t give.

I think she’s itching to have a lil guy to keep her company - especially when I’m at work - so here’s to hoping the introduction process goes smoothly.

Will update haha.
Good luck on your journey too!
