You're right, Catherine, he is very cute.
We're calling him our Bumble Bee Boy because he has a bee stripe. He has a white stripe down his nose as well. It may be some time before we get any photos, but we will try.
If you want to see him, this links to Suzy's new arrivals page. Scroll down to the three boys who arrived on 17/5/14 and Cecil is the one hiding at the back. You can just about see him.

We had Clean out day yesterday and Cecil was handled for the first time since he arrived. So as not to stress him out too much I encouraged him into a cuddle pocket which I had left in the cage overnight. I then lifted him out in the pocket and he sat on Anna's lap with her hand inside the pocket. All he did was sit and wait, but he didn't seem too stressed by it.
He has been out and about in his cage, but scuttles away if there is any sudden movement, or if we walk past the cage, but he does seem to be getting a little bolder.
After clean out I gave him a huge pile of hay and this seems to be his thing. He came right out of hiding and sat in the open beside it, munching away and even popcorned about a bit, until he realised we were watching and ran for the hidey. But the lure of the hay was too great and he was soon out again.
So lots of hay it is!!
