Default Max....

Managed to get a couple of photos of Max last night. We are taking it slowly with the taming as on his first couple of nights he would jump at anything. So much so that he done a backflip once
He is slowly recognising my voice, i have put some shredded tissue paper in his bed which was... ahem... in my bra for a good few hours! Tonight i plan to take him out for a run in the bath, let him stretch his legs.

Here he is on his house/bed which has the roof taken off. He decided to sit on the corner and munch on a choc drop :L



Finishing it off



Innocent pose



Tried to pribe him out with a yoghurt drop but ran back in to his bed to scoff it



Once he is more tame and settled i will get plenty more pics of him

Aw, he's very sweet Jayne. My Balou used to do backflips when he was a baby too. I'm sure you will have him really tame before long. He looks to be settling in and making himself at home.

He looks really sweet . I'm sure you will have him tame in no time. Our Charlie used to run a mile every time I went near him.

Ahhh he is so lovely and looks such a baby - he has made me go all gooey!

Can I just ask (or maybe I shouldn't)
Was the tissue in your bra....or Max's bed was your bra? If its the first then okay, but if Max made his nest in your bra...were you wearing it at the time????

Jane, he's lovely - reminds me of a baby Treacle. I'm sure, with such love and attention, he'll soon be tame as anything.

I used to tuck tissues in my bra strap for Treacle, Custard and Mocha - unforunately they often used to slip a bit and sometimes the poor guys ended up with a bit of an armpit bed

ROFL

You guys make me chuckle!

I just put some tissue paper in for about 30minutes so it has my scent on it then ripped it up and put it in his bed!

I'm not sure i would be comfortable with Max using my bra as his bed, it also might make me look like Jordan!! On one side

Last night i had him in the bath (not with water or with me, i know what you lot are like ) and he seemed ok, just got him used to me a bit more and gave him a little treat when he went back in.

He is a lovely little guy and it's good that he is slowly getting used to you. I have found that sometimes the ones you have to spend time getting used to you and making less jumpy are the ones who beg for attention later on.
