they hate me even more...

 they hate me even more...

So tonite i finally did tent time. i was wary for a few days cause both my girls have runny poop from the meds. It's been a while since we've gone in the tent since I usually let them run around downstairs supervised. Anyways tent time was fun and they both enjoyed jumping and chewing on my notebook and textbook. ha! My pen was attacked by both.
But when it was time for them to go back in the cage both lil boogers did not want to go back into the pouch. Zoe would go in just find, then pop out and the Meiko ran away from me and wouldn't let touch her. I tried treats..nothing...I tried mealies...nothing. To make long story short i got so frustrated that I literally yelled. Very loud. I didn't mean to, but I became extremely frustrated with both. I scared the crap outta both of them. Zoe ran off and hid on my back and Meiko looked at me not moving. I tried again to get them both in the pouch. More scampering and they both tore up my arms so bad it burns bad (they just their nails trimmed). Finally after 30 minutes i got them in the pouch and into the cage.
I'm upset that i yelled at them and I feel horrible. I'm upset that I probably screwed up the thin bonding already accomplished. One just tolerates me and the other hates me. or they both do.
I'm a bad mom.

Something very important to remember- suggies have tiny brains. I know it sounds harsh, but my girls HATE getting their nails clipped but as soon as we're done I'm the first person they go to. Even know they KNOW I was the one torturing them with the nail clipping. Little possum brains... smart but not that smart. You need to learn patience- they need a lot of it. They're like toddlers.
