holding and handling Iggy

[Debbie]

As ou all know Iggy has been pretty sick in the past week.

My question is notw that he is starting to get better and is eating very good, how long would you say is the proper recovery time to take hiim out of his enclosre and hold him and to get him back into the tub?

I open his enclosure everyday and pet him and stroke him and talk to him. I just do not want to jump the gun and have him relaps or get to clod or well I could go on but you get the picture.


Debbie and Iggy. ;D

I've lost count of how many days it's been Debbie.
Personally ..I would think a bath would make him feel good :-)

Hi Debbie-

I agree with Tesa a nice calm, warm bath might just help his recovery.

Gentle, quiet, Small handling sessions would be in order to help him feel he's getting better. You certainly don't want him to get used to non-handling. They can revert so quickly to their instinctual ways.

Take him out, hold him, love him for a few minutes and then return him. He'll appreciate the extra caring right now.
