Subject: How long does it take to tame & bond Posted by Craig Jordan on April 14, 1999 at 22:50:26: I hope someone may be able to help us. We purchased Crouton about 3 weeks ago. She was six weeks old. She was eating good and seemed to be settling down. She was purchased on a tuesday, on Saturday we had company that wished to see her. We showed her off...she was scared! Then, a few days later we took her to the vet for a check-up. This seemed to really tramatize her. Well, then Easter hit and so came a house full of people and noise. She was freaked out by all the activities and since has crabbed excessively and often bites when getting her out of her pouch. Once out, she takes off. We tried just leaving her alone to see what she would do and she continues to avoid us at all measures. This now makes us have to chase her to catch her to put her in her cage. This is becoming a huge ordeal for all involved. I hope that someone can help us out. Please feel free to tell us exactly what we did or are doing wrong. Will she bond with us after all that has happened? Will a buddy for her help? Thank you. Craig & Jordan
