Re: First time owner needing advice for Robo
That's really good to know! Yeah I think eventually it was more about me being brave enough to let him sniff and nibble without taking my hand away, because now he's absolutely fine with my hands and hasn't bitten at all! I try to handle him everyday, I'm very busy so finding time to do the proper taming is quite hard :/ At the moment I let him run in the ball for 15-30 mins and then open the ball and offer him my hand, which he will usually run right onto. Then I let him run between my hands for a while and then I will put him back. I know i should be doing the proper taming methods, but he really doesn't like being put into a box and moving his whole cage to the bath has become a problem with my housemates :/ he'll take treats from me when offered, but wont currently take one off my hand... I think i might buy a playpen to tame him in my room, does anyone have any suggestions for one i could buy or a diy project?
