Hi!
I have a Netherland Dwarf Male who is going onto 6 months old now, and he is honestly great. He uses the potty where he should, gets his privacy when he wants it, and comes and gives me kisses a lot. The only problem i’ve had is when I try to pick him up it’s usually a process haha, he doesn’t enjoy it too much but i’ve also read that, that is just his breed! And I have no problem with letting him be him and just going to his cage and getting my kisses and love through his door and only picking him up once a week (I give his full body rubs while he is in his cage, since I want to be there for him but don’t wanna stress him out) I usually take him out and give him some read snuggles and let him wonder around the camper (currently living in a camper myself, he is in an outside coop but he is alll bundled up and seems way happier than every honestly than from being inside for a short bit, he flops and everything and if there’s a little breeze he has one part of his cage that is open to let in some air, he loves to shove his butt at it and let the wind hit lol)
but anyway, my real question is should I be getting him nurtured? It doesn’t bother me he gets a little mad when I try to pick him up, he is fine literally right after!
