Hi, my name is jason, im from Walsall, England. I have just brought home a 5 month old male irn. Has anyone got any advice on helping him settle in please? I handled him at the breeders. I know he has to learn my trust, has anyone got any advice on the best ways to go about this?
Any help greatly appreciated

Sit beside his cage and talk/sing to him, offer treats through the bars, eat your meals beside his cage, they are very curious and he will want to share your food (make sure it's safe food), don't try and handle him, you will freak him out and probably get a nasty bite, just do the minimum cleaning on a daily basis, so he gets used to your hands being in close proximity, it takes time and patience.
