Willow wont let me hold him.

I dont expect him to WANT to be held, but I want to be able to pick him up out of his cage, but he just runs and hides. Whats the best way to get him used to me picking him up in his cage, or anywhere :/

You need to give him time. Not all chins will let you pick them up out of their cage. Remeber you are big and he is small. Let him come to you and get used to you. You can always get a carrier and use that to get him to and from his cage. Leave the carrier open, let him jump in, close the door, and transport him to the location you want him to be.

Thanks =) I dont really need to transport him anywhere, I just let him run around in my room, he always just jumps out himself and I dont like having him squeak at me when I take him out of his cage, I feel like its doing more bad then good :/ He used to leap into my hand, but now hes just so excited to jump out himself and take off
