judygram Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 All greys are individuals and so you will just have to play it by ear, let her settle into her new home and see how it goes. Some greys will allow a lot of touching and some won't, you will soon find out where in that scheme of things your grey fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 zzelama I would see how your baby grey acts when you handle her. My Ana Grey wanted to be cuddled from day one as that is how her breeder handled her. Ask your grey's breeder about your new baby's personality. If she was handreared, the breeder will know all about your new grey's likes and dislikes. Just ask. Ask lots of questions. I still talk to my grey's breeder and she is always helpful. Good luck with your new baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpittman Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 If it's possible for you to visit the breeder and spend some time with your baby before you bring her home it would be great. You can start the bonding process and learn some of your baby's likes and dislikes. The easiest way to handle her is by example of the breeder.

katana600 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I am having some of the same jitters. Will he like me, will I be able to understand what he wants? I have some big shoes to fill from the haven he has had with his brothers with an experienced, caring and loving surrogate mom. There may be uncertainties, but when I read of the other caregivers on this forum, I know it is going to be better than we imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
