Hi Ria, Hammygal & Dalis,

Yes, your responses sum it up well: "amazing!", "good!" and "feeling of joy when they finally trust you."

Ria, in response to your questions: I put a hand in Finnegan's cage and he sat on it. I did not try to pick him up. I have been putting a hand in his cage since March-resting it on top of the substrate-and he would run back and forth over it. Now he will run to it and sit as soon as I put a hand in. I'm very surprised. He moves very fast when he decides he's had enough so I'm not going to try to pick him up or move him. I'll let it unfold on his terms. Yesterday, he was waiting when I opened the door and crawled into one of my hands before I put it on the substrate. I hope you have a similar experience with your little one sometime!
