Make sure that you have everything ready for him before you collect him, so that you can pop him into his new home as soon as you arrive and he can spend the first 24hrs getting used to his new environment. Don’t forget that he is naturally timid and will be missing his brothers and sisters. He will like you to talk to him and will soon get used to the sound of your voice. We suggest you don’t handle him too much for the first day or two, but give him plenty of clean water and some food, and allow him to get accustomed to his new home. You will soon know when he has settled as he will begin to eat, drink and groom himself. |
