How is taming progressing? Id he's been interacting with you I wouldn't stop just because of the clean, if he seems to want to be left alone for an evening then that's fine but leaving them alone when they're not showing any signs of being unsettled by things can just mean taking a step back with taming/bonding so let him guide you.



thats good to know, i was worried because the levels were rearranged slightlt too.

it's been going really well, he takes food from my hand and will walk across it to get into his ball. I am planning in beginning bathtub bonding tomorrow. He let's me stroke him while in the cage however sometimes while sniffing my hand will go to nibble, however I give him a gentle blow/move my hand slowly away so he hasn't bitten me yet. I was my hands before stroking so I doubt it's because of food.
