Hi everyone. I have finally after months of looking got 2 girls at 8 weeks old. They came home last sat and as today is only thur been with me less than a week. I'm trying so hard to do the right thing it's starting to stress me out at how skittish and frightened they are. I look at the pics and videos here and wonder if I will ever get them to that level. I have read so much online that I am very confused at the best approach to this.... some say they have to get used to being handled and me so hold them every day even though I feel like I'm scaring them to death when I lift them out. ..stressing them is stressing me. While others say don't pick them up but hand feed them and slowly they will get used to you. But will this take too long and they will never want to be picked up? I don't want to do the wrong thing and never be able to bond with them like so many here have..... all help very much appreciated! ! Thx Jo
