Just raise the hide slowly , look where his head is then carefully get hold him from behind .. lift slowly then try and sit down as soon as possible
Rest him on your lap and they normally calm right down .. exploring nervously .
Let him move a little then keep dragging him back to your lap ..
He will soon realise that YOU are a safe place . They quite often just curl up on your lap after about 5 minutes .
