Default Re: How get Syrian used to being held?

Well after 2 days of the computer mouse method and only having her less than a week she is fine with being picked up. She squirmed the very first time i picked her up but she now doesnt move a muscle and just waits to be placed down. Doesnt seem wary of hands at all.

Spent 20 minutes last night while she was on her spinning wheel just with my hands next to her and she didnt react at all, quite content.

Popped her on my chest last night with some baby sweetcorn placed on my hand, she ran onto my hand and sat there eating it till she finished. Fully expected her to pouch it so that was a bonus.

The last 2 /3 we had were all older from the adoption part so i suppose we missed this stage of taming them.

Will do some more tonight when she finally awakes at 8pm but looking forward to it
