Another small progress guys!
So I've 'held' Igor a few times,
He's climbed into the food pile on my hands then been set back down,
Today I was giving him a meal worm treat and I gave him the treat then gently touched his back with a small paint brush, then I gave him a piece of food and touched his back again, he seemed to accept it looking round each time but not running away,
Then I gently stroked his back with my finger, this time he looked around and ran away a little, but came back warily so I gave him a piece of food.
I feel this is another small step in the right direction
He's becoming slightly tamer each week
It's slow progress but very worth it, I feel he's just wary and a bit cage terratorial but going slow seems to be working well for him
I'm very proud, it's my birthday today so this feels like a small birthday present from my little guy
