Hi, everyone I wanted to ask if you know any bonding pouch tips because my suggies crab so much at me when they are in their bonding pouch and i move oor something,well can you guys/girls gime me tips for that?
I usually wear the bonding pouch during the day while they are sleeping, it helps them to get use to your scent. Another way to help them get use to your scent would be to place shirts that you've worn for a few days in their cages for them to smell and play in. When mine crab at me in their bonding pouch I gently rub them through the pouch and talk to them soothingly and that usually calms them down. Also when Lay down with them in the pouch I lay them on my chest or stomach and gently cup my hand over them. You could also give them a treat while they are in there. Hope those suggestions help.
Cupping a hand around them gently is a great way of calming them - it's the cattle crush effect! As GandB has said, carry them during the daytime, and only carry them for short periods until they get used to being in the carry pouch and become comfortable in your presence. You could try offering them treats in their pouch too.
Cupping the pouch is great, also gently rubbing the pouch in a circular motion works well. Dont forget to talk to them alot. And of course treats, treats and more treats.
thanks but the problem is hat is hasnt been much time since i got my suggies and like the pouch is not with zipper or nothing at all just open on top so i cant close it and if i move or do almost anything they crabb, so i dont know what to do!!!
