Well Winston unexpectedly came home today. I'm so happy :bunnydance:. I fell in love with him the second he inched out of his box into his new home. He is a very shy guy and when I came in to give him his food and drop off a few times he would go stiff as a board as soon as he saw me.
I have a thread about bonding him with a friend but what about bonding with me?
Since he's so shy should I just go sit there quiet and watch him or will he think I'm trying to eat him? Is there such a thing as watching him too long? Should my boyfriend be there with me since I want them to be friends too?
How long should I wait until I let him out? How long should I wait to pet him?
I gave him a few pets in the shelter when I met him and he didn't run away he just kind of backed into himself. He didn't nibble or run when he smelt me.
I'm sorry for all the threads and stuff I'm just so excited and want to be the best owner for these boys and to be thought of as a friend by them.
Oh and I have looked up most of these things on the internet but I want to double, triple, quadruple check it all. And I want to taper things to how he behaves... can't think of a better way then asking more experience owners. Sorry again.
