Thanks I'll do that, I think he's had long enough with the scent now to memorise (1 day with the top) and hopefully he doesn't think I smell too bad haha.Originally Posted by CCfive
I'd take your clothing out. He needs to feel secure in "his" space. Just take him out for small amounts of time a couple times a week. That will get him used to your scent and let him "trust" you. So he knows you won't hurt or drop him.
Just go slow and wake him slowly if he's sleeping so you don't alarm him, and you and he will be fine!
I know he'll trust me in time, because he didn't ball up too much the first time...but I just feel a little bit timid about getting started, I always feel like I'm disturbing him, even though in reality I give him completely his own space and quiet, lots of hides and things to play with (he's very curious and explores a lot). I like hearing tips from experienced owners like yourself and people on this forum though, there are some things books can't teach.
