Say hello to Tiny Des :)



As you can see he can be handled, he just needs to get used to it :)

Here is Tiny Des working out :)



I have been spending a lot of time with this little guy and have found out a lot about him. He doesn't mind being held, its just hands he isn't keen on. I have been picking him up by letting him walk in a tube and then putting him on my lap and he is perfectly happy with this. He just isn't used to being picked up with hands, so gets a little unsure.

Whilst he was walking around my bed, he was nibbling on things, so he isn't being nasty at all. I am hoping that the more I do this, the better he will be and there have been great improvements so far :)

Tiny Des has now gone to his new home :D
