why do i want a zoo
I've had them both 4 days, one of them (tina) is extremely shy, she sometimes comes to sniff my hand inside the cage but sometimes she hides whenever I put it in. I started with feeding them treats through the cage bars after talking to them. Albus is great, he started coming to take treats out of my hands from the first go and i can tell hes really eager to get out (but i want to make sure theyre comfortable with me handling them before i let them have a run outside of the cage) he lets me stroke him a tiny bit, but he climbs on my hands and isnt frightened when I do stuff inside the cage like move things around (unlike tina) I wanted to know when would be the right time to pick him up, and how do I do it without really scaring him? I know you should hold the base of the tail so they don't run away but when he's sitting in my hand I dont want to grab it incase he's startled by this (because he only lets me stroke him lightly about once or twice) so i thought he wouldnt be comfortable yet with me full on handling him?
