What if he doesn't like me? :(

This is now me getting paranoid since there is about 20 days till I get my degus.


You probably know by now that when I met the degus I'm getting I got bitten (I wasn't mean to it, read my other thread if you want the information) I'm really worried now that he won't like me.

I know that degus are intelligent and have a good memory, if he remembers that he got scared by me and that he bit me, when I get him - he might continue to dislike me.

If he doesn't like me, is there anything I can do to make him like me?

Thanks, from a paranoid Taint x

Once you have them home then you will be able to better control the atmosphere they are in, and you will have all the time you can allocate to taming and training them . . . which will be much more than you could possibly have used when visiting them at their current home location. Yes, degus have great memories, and yes, they are all very different, so some are forward and daring, while others are shy and reticent to venture forth, but these are normal and can be worked with. Slow and gentle is the way to go and you will do great!
