Flossieteacake
New Born Pup
I have 2 month old boys that are still petrified of me and hate being handled
They live out in a hutch then go out into a 6x6ft grass run every day with various hides/ tunnels. I sit quietly then talk to them, I’ve done this for at least 2 hours a day in short sessions. I have tried hand feeding but they are too scared.
I do pick them up for a cuddle when I take them to the run and back. I’ve tried giving them a snack during a cuddle but I think they are frozen with fear
What am I doing wrong? Will they ever let me stroke them? Should I persist with cuddles or minimise this as it’s maybe too scary? They do have a fleece sac I tend to get them to run in and pick them up in as seems a less stressful way to catch them.
