Re: Amazing sav video

I'm pretty sure her following your finger like that is a feeding response.....

but her crawling onto your hand and your arm is pretty neat

Re: Amazing sav video

You should have given her some food after. She didn't walk on you because she likes you, she walked for food. Keep getting her to do that but give treats too!

Re: Amazing sav video

That's pretty cool man. I think that if you would've had food it might have been a problem, but since you didn't she just came to check you out. That she is comfortable enough with you to just walk up your arm to search is great. You are obviously building trust!

That was really cool. Wow! Even though I probably will not ever have a monitor, watching her do this put a smile on my face.
