I got Louie on May 19th, and so far everything has been great. When he was in his old cage, which was pretty small, I was able to pet him pretty much all the time. Ever since I got a new cage for him, which is much larger, he almost always runs from me when I try to pet him. I assumed since I haven't had him for very long, and now he is in a new cage, that I just need to give him time to adjust. BUT yesterday, when my boyfriend came home from work, he went to Louie's cage and started rubbing the top of his head. He was even rubbing his ears all the way to the tips!! Louie just patiently sat there the entire time!! I was shocked. Apparently my boyfriend pets him a couple of times a day, usually before and after work, until "his hand gets tired", and Louie hardly ever runs from him. WHY is this?! Maybe he just likes guys better? Or, like my boyfriend suggested, maybe I am smothering him with too much attention and he is rebelling against me?:laughitup:
