I got Tybalt about a year ago.
He's a male degu, and he was at least half a year old when I got him.
He loves to be pet, but still sometimes freaks out when he's being held.
Does anyone have some tips to get him more used to people?

If you offer him the occassional treat while you are holding him, will be a positive reinforcement of how good it is to be with you. If you look in the feeding and treats board, there are lots of great treat ideas located within there. Also, if you take him out more frequently for brief visits, gradually lengthening the time you have him out with you, that will greatly help as well. Our degus are a year old, and almost a year old, and they continue to improve as we continue to work with them. The more we do, the more they respond.
