Dressing gowns!

[n64play]

I've been slowly training my boys since I got them. Two of them will sit in my hand, and Arthur will quite happily sit there, or walk around my hand and up my arm. I've also got them to run back into the cage after being let out, when I open the treat box (it's the noise of the box, they run back inside to get a treat!). Yesterday, I discovered an older thread on here, people using dressing gowns to make their goos more comfortable and get them used to you, so I gave it a go last night. Great success! All 3 instantly jumped onto my arms (I had them folded at the entrace of the cage) and ran up and around my shoulders, then back into the cage!
Just thought I'd share

It is our boys favorite thing for me to wear. They are VERY happy to have me in it and then for them to get to run around on it too. And in it, of course. LOL!!! Made me remember something. We will be going away the next two weeks, and we have a friend staying at our home to take care of animals and house for us. I was introducing her to the boys and one, Reep, immediately made himself at home on her shoulder. Then while we were talking, he decided to make a dive for her cleavage and into her shirt. Thankfully she didn't freak!! LOL! Nasty little boy!
