How to handle Tilly any advice?

[dazie]

As you may already know I have three gps and they are great. I'm having a bit of a problem with Tilly the youngest as she squeals so badly when I try and handle her and tries desperately to get out of my hands or off my lap. She is a long haired gp so needs her bottom trimmed and her hair brushed but she makes such a fuss I'm stuck for ideas to calm her I will probably need to bath and trim her nails at some point so any ideas would be greatly received

Hey To get her used to you handling her maybe try reaching into her cage without taking her out, just pat her and softly speak to her then walk away I cant handle my sow at the moment coz she is pregnant so I do this alot and she really trusts me

Good luck with bathing her :

As B-W says, gently, bently approach her. Use food as a way to disract her too Patience is needed

Managed to get her to calmly sit on my lap and have a dandelion leaf (bribery) she wasn't going to take it but her tummy rules this little girls head big style, so so far so good its taken a long time to get to this stage!
