Yes, you are correct but, he is SLOOOOWLY coming around, LOL!!! I did actually pick him up for just a few seconds today but, my efforts were futile, LOL!!!AHBD":33tx202b said:Is this pampered guy dictating that you not pick him up yet or did I misunderstand ?
Hey, that sounds like a plan....hmmm, I wonder what he's gonna think about that, LOL?AHBD":1v5r4j5q said:Oh , good job getting in the sneak peek ! But you really need to handle him, the sooner the better. Maybe you were following that misinformation about not handling them for a week or 2 as a baby [ which is not true, sad that it's getting passed around ] So now he's a bit of a bossy pants. But you just pick this guy right up....gloves + long sleeves if needed ....and hold him to your chest while near his tank, you can sit down of course. All done, calmly + gently. Hold him for 10 minutes a day, after a few days walk around while holding him to your body. This usually calms them right down as they are a bit shocked but realize no harm is being done.
Ya, I got him out for a bit!AHBD":15jysy0k said:Did you get him out at all ? What happened ? Don't let him determine the handling, you have to do this before he becomes an adult. Don't worry if he's not happy, just pick him right up + hold him firmly on your chest. He'll get used to it.
Ya, I know but, it is something I'm not used to, He'll come round.AHBD":1fczp02h said:That's good, just stick to it and he'll get used to it after a while. Before you know it you'll have him sitting on your lap.
Ya, it will take some time but, if nothing else....I'm patient!!! I am also used to being cussed at, LOL!!!!AHBD":16obagbg said:That's great, just keep it up and stay calm + slow with the whole process. Hope the family emergency was not too serious !
