I got Itachi and his cage mate from a home where the children had lost interest. They seemed fine, though it was obvious that they hadn't socialised them. His cage mate almost died, but I was able to nurse him back to health. Itachi is fairly untame, will make grunty sounds and jump away. But he will come for treats and can be held once out of the cage. He is getting better slowly.
