Any advice on how to work with Natsu on getting out of his cage?

Glad it worked! I took my baby blood out today, he's definitely a jumpy little guy but didn't manage to connect at all and did pretty well for his first handling with me. He's right around the same age as yours probably, born this summer.

I have raised a bunch of Bloods from fresh hatched babies till they were adults. I can say from the hundreds of baby blood bites I have had all of them were over it way before being adults. I am talking about devil babies. They all had plain cages their hides were folded newspaper substrate was also newspaper. Plain handed I would open the cage and immediately pick them up from their backside never going toward the face. Hooks make them more jumpy from my experience I think its the cold steel. I would hold them a few minutes everyday never moving anything in front of their face. Even the nastiest Cherries I had would always calm down usually puppy dog tame. They huff and puff that's a Blood thing! Its when the tounge is straight out hissing you know your getting bit!!!They will get used to you then you know you achieved greatness :-) That's really just meanning your adding more to your collection!!!Good luck and support your new addiction!!!
