Thanks for commenting.

I'm glad you enjoyed the article so much!

First of all, I've learned that Cavy is the fourth largest rodent in the world. (this is the first time I've seen a Cavy too! I feel so worldly wise all of a sudden.. ^_^)

Secondly, I've learned the first three largest rodents are capybaras, beavers and porcupine. (I didn't know capybaras, beavers and porcupines were that huge! The cavy looks about the size of a medium sized dog.. which means a full-grown capybara, beaver and porcupine must be quite large indeed.)

Third of all, and most importantly, I'm reminded to be more patient with my robos and to train them using 'positive reinforcement'.

Thanks for your post Mary/CheerioTrainer!
(ps: I even read your post out loud to my bf and he said yes, let's use positive reinforcement on our hamsters so we can give them their eyedrops and vitamin drink.) ^_^

These guys seem pretty jumpy to me. Hopefully we’ll be able to make a bit of progress.

It was an interesting pairing and the cavy wasn’t too amiable–good luck!
