Thanks Fenstar and Elaine! I never really thought about the situation in the sense of kidnapping him
but you are right!!! That is exactly what we did!!! I have just been going by the breeders advice and taking him our of the carrier or his hiding spot and petting him and grooming him. He loves to be brushed,so that is what I have been doing. He also likes being held and PURRRSSSS loudly when I take him out to hold him. So what you all are saying is that I shouldn't remove him from his hiding spot and just allow him to come out when he is ready? This is what I did last night. After my two boys went to sleep(the girls are at their mothers) I went into his room and just sat beside his cage talking to him for about an hour. Then I sat on the sofa in there and did some more researching on the lap top. After about 20 minutes of me sitting away from him he started to cry out. I went back to him and he rolled over and wanted me to rub his belly
Imagine my delight!!! So I sat and pet him for a while longer before leaving the room. As soon as I left I heard him come out and I peeked in on him, he was on the couch curled up where I was sitting
It was kinda sad! He wants to interact and he wants attention, I just don't know if he knows how to ask for it, or DEMAND it like BB does! I always take a trat of som sort in with me when I go visit, not thinking about it this morning I went in to clean his box and visit him before the kids woke up. He did inform me that I had forgot his treat
he yelled and mewed until I went back and got his chicken and then he was fine! After eating that he came out and went to his food bowl to have his breakfast!
So the suggestions are to leave him be and don't take him out of hiding,correct? So should I continue to take his treats with me and continue to reach in and pet him without removing him?
