Re: Kilian, the New Ham on the Block
Today, my Mr. Kiliwonkers let me pick him up. I decided today was going to be the day. I offered him a treat and had him walk into a container. Gently raising the container, up and out of his cage, I had the container go into an upright position with Kilian inside. He popped his head over the top, as if to say, "Hey, what's going on?" He let me pet him quite a bit, and then I gently placed my hand around his body.
Presto! I finally picked him up. I did this a couple of times and gave him a treat. After a few minutes of repeating this taming exercise, I put him back in his bin cage.
He still won't let me hold his bottom or pick him up while he is walking around his cage. However, he is now letting me pick him up when he is standing on his hind legs!
Hooray!!!!!
Keeping my fingers crossed that we can move forward without any glitches.
