yea the one we have at my petco is crazy when u hold him u have to hold him upside down which puts them in a trance like state and he hand feeds once you have him in the trance you can flip him over and he will calm down and let u handle him. i was thinking about buying him myseld but i dont have the room or the money to invest in something that needs that much work right now. i have 4 bp tanks set up right now and 2 qurantine tanks.

PLEASE stop holding him upside down!!!! He is not in a trance--he is SUFFOCATING!!!!!! CWD's do not have diaphrams, and rely on their ribs pulsing to pump air in and out of their lungs. Upside down or on their back they cannot breathe! He will be more docile with caring and patient handling consistently, not suffocating him to near unconsciousness continuously.
