Figure i'll post this here too, just so people can see that when i say my ASFs are friendly, I mean it.



Something I've been working on with desensitizing the ASFs.
First I scruff them, and lift them out of the cage, and slowly cup my hand under them so they're laying on their backs. Then I distract them with gentle belly rubs, and eventually, let go of the scruff, and keep rubbing their bellies. Most of the girls enjoy or tollerate it, but the boys don't like to be scruffed at all!

The ASFs in the photos, are not being restrained by the scruff.

Now, these ASFs will let me pick them up and just hold them on their backs. Doesn't last long, but they'll let me. They'll also roll over sometimes, for cheek rubs.
