I just managed to have a quick little cuddle with Floyd, I held him under my chin and had a little chin cuddle with him. He was vibrating making occassional tiny squeeky noises. He makes the same noises in his home with Manny.

I put him on my lap and had a little fruity biscuit treat, he didn't eat it, but he did pick it up and held it in his mouth for a couple of seconds.

With the vibrating - did that mean he was unhappy or happy?

I'm not pushing the holding I'm more working on getting them to eat from my hand - which they will now as long as I stay absolutely still! But I couldn't resist tonight as he was in his little igloo home and it was really easy for me to get him out without playing run and chase! :))
 
If you are worried that he is frightened, then why not cuddle him under a towel or fleece where he feels safe and can relax?

I had my fleecy blanket out. I'm just trying to work out what all the noises mean. I hope he was vibrating rather than shaking, but it's hard to tell mallethead
