I'm ashamed, I caved! But I removed my dog from the room, turned off the tv and just let him sit in my hand until he started flicking his tongue and moving around on his own. Only held him for about 5 minutes and put him back in his hide so as to avoid too much stress.
Wondering if I should see if he'll eat. he poo'd last night and just came out of shed before I got him so I'd think he might be hungry. My pastel ate only 5 hours after I had her home. he has been hangin out for almost 30 hours now.
