I have not been handling Barney much and he has turned into a hungry hippopotamus demanding food literally the day after he eats. He has also decided he’s big enough to try to eat my hand (which has admittedly further reduced his handling [that and general life/home environment changes]). Le sigh. He’s still a cute lil noodle though! I also feel bad handling him when I know he doesn’t enjoy it and he gets nervous around most new things.
I’m going to start tap/hook training but I’m also going to hold myself to a better enrichment schedule for him. He loves exploring a fresh redecoration so much.
