hello people of corn when i handle winston he just seems to want to get away as fast as possibal i have had him 2 months now and he is 3 months old, he eats well and sheds well but when it comes to handling he just seems to wiggle really fast, like a bid for freedom or something i am scared i am gonna drop him, and hurt or lose him i handle him every day for 5-10 mins except feeds when i leave him for 2 days, is this normal? and how long will it take to tame him?
We got Bella at the end of April and it wasn't until about two weeks ago that she finally realised we're not big monsters that want to eat her. Just be patient and he'll settle eventually.

just keep with the 5-10mins every day except feeding days and eventually he will get used to being handled
maybe try putting a small piece of your clothing in his viv/faun so that he can get used to your smell - it can sometimes help them settle down faster when being handled

Kellog has always been like that and I dont think it is cos he doesnt like me, he just likes to explore and be on the move - at least that is my explanation for his actions! Lol! xxx
