siobha9 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hi Kevin, Welcome to the forum! There is lots of information on the site about new baby greys, especially in the Nursery room. A useful thread is this one about bringing home your baby http://www.greyforums.net/forums/the-nursery/72855-bringing-home-your-baby-grey.html In order to have your grey step up you should place your hand in front of him on his belly just above his feet. By gently pushing his belly he should step up. As you are training him use the same command such as "Step Up" so he learns to associate the phrase with stepping up.
