Progress with the angry dwarf (retic)

Hey Everyone,

Im sure some of you have seen my previous posts about frustration with taming down a hatchling dwarf retic. Today, after many months of ownership, unpleasant hundreds of handling sessions, and an unbelievable amount of bites, today was the first time that I WASN'T bitten when holding him. I was so shocked that he wasn't trying to roll out of my hands while simultaneously biting me, that I actually forgot I was supposed to be cleaning his enclosure. I just stood there frozen.

Hopefully his behavior continues to trend in a positive direction. Just wanted to let y'all know that there is a glimmer of hope with even the wildest animals.

Glad to hear that he's showing some progress! I hope he continues to calm down for you.

That is fantastic news Josh!

Lets just hope your little satan :devilish: was born again. :D
