Y’all have been so incredibly helpful and supportive! I can’t thank you enough. I successfully cleaned him and his cage today. When I picked him up he didn’t curl up at all and was incredibly curious about everything around him. That’s a first! Put him back in his cage and he nosed around and tried out a log hide. He’s still getting used to all of our movements and vibrations. My son is 10 and active as well as our two dogs. He hasn’t puffed air at me since my post.
Still working on regulating the temp but we’ve had crazy weather in my part of the states so it’s super cold one day and pretty toasty the next. Our house has very high ceilings and is difficult to heat plus it’s dry.
i don’t pick him up daily but I do open his humidity box to check the moss and check on him. I always stroke his back and talk to him. The first couple of weeks we had him he would hide his head in the middle of his body in the box. We’re in week 3 and he is now keeping his nose right at the opening of the box. When I walk in he’ll poke his head out.
He really is a very calming pet, even though we’re still timid with each other. I have terrible anxiety and just watching him calms me.
I’ll keep everybody updated and please, keep the advice coming! I want to learn everything I can.
