So I Just got Charlee 4 days ago and so far I'm doing well on gaining his trust.
He is happy for me to pick him up and for him to jump all over me. He's even licked my nose a few times.
So he stays in his cage at night and i let him run around whenever i am home. Yesterday i had a day at home and so let hime roam all day. I thought by the end of it he would be knackard and easy to get back into bed.
I was wrong.
Not only has he discovered the hardest places for me to reach him, yesterday when he went under the dresser, i literally had to get something behind him and pull him out. He was just being a stubborn ball of cute wee fluff.
So I have two questions. Is there any easier way for me to convince him his cage is a nice place? I feed him in there, what more can I do?
Secondly is he actually distressed when I'm trying to catch him and get him back into his cage? I can't tell because he allows me to creep towards him until i'm about an inch away with one hand (under the bed, awkward position) and then he bolts.
I get the feeling he could just be playing with me and clearly prefers being outside his cage.
What are the signs that he's getting stressed? How can I limit this?
