Default Re: Henry and Gordon

Hi Ria,

That sounds like progress with taming little Gordon. It is possible to tame them, although it may take a while. As I said in my previous thread about Finnegan, I had him since March and he sat in my hand for the first time after five months of just running across my hand. I wasn't keen on chasing him around to catch him in my hands so I didn't go that route. It must be frightening for them and I was ok with doing it on his terms.

That said, there is a Pet Expo this weekend and those Robos are totally tamed. I asked the woman how she did it and she said she handled them since they were babies. I like the gentle do-it-on-their-own-terms approach, but there are advantages to having them tamed, such as when they need veterinary care, medication, etc.

Your Henry is adorable!
