I just read up on this thread, and it's such a nice thing to read! You're listening to his needs and preferences, and you're both learning to interact. Chipper has only been here for about 4 months, and still has firm boundaries, like he will not put two feet on my hand to step up, only my arm. BUT, he adjusted from hanging out on shoulders because I asked him to and made my arm the most rewarding place. It's hard to move at their pace sometimes. I want Chipper to enjoy a shower, and come out with us regularly without being afraid of the harness or cage, but he wants to move slowly. Like Paco, he got little interaction for many years after his person died, and he was left with his person's husband. So we move at a snails pace, and I could just burst with love for him. He's also afraid of random things in the house, like a reflection from my phone, or even the fish in the fish tank.
