Hi guys, just wanted to ask for some advice! Sid my corn when I have him out he wants to head for my hoodie pockets the odd time. im always a little scared incase he gets in and then subsequently cant get him out? is it ok to let them sit in ur pocket waht do other peeps do? just dont want to stress him out with this big hand going into my pocket to try and get him out again when its time to put him away? any help would be appreciated? i dont mind letting him do it if he wants its just the fear of getting him out again. :)

I only let Apollo go into my pockets. I just worry too much about hurting the little ones and they can move quick if they decide to. Plus Aphrodite is still convinced that she can fly and can go from calm and relaxed to suicidal leap in a matter of seconds

I think this is maybe one query that everyone could have different opinions on. I do tend to be a little overcautious so I'll be interested to see what others say

My biggest worry when mine wanted to explore pockets was any loose threads from the seams that might strangle them.

Most love being in clothes, when Kellogs was small would sleep in Ians sleeve, was funny as he would be playing the playstation, had to keep his arm straight! Its fine, but check for a bump incase you get left a pressie!
Just take them out the same as you would from viv, if you are worried, gently shake clothes to warn them you are coming

Discordia loves resting curled up inside my sleeves while I read, and I don't have any problem with it. When I have to take her out I just approach her slowly but firmly and as said above I gently shake my arm so that she's not caught unexpectedly... I've never had any problem!
