When handling your cham......

.........may I suggest that if they can see outside, that there are no birds in the garden! I know that that sounds incredibly simple, and common sense, but it was something I didn't think of! Hugo climbed out on me today when I was misting, saw the birds at the end of the garden and freaked, shot down my body and tried to jump behind the cage! I have never seen such a reaction, or seen him move so fast!!

True, but he didn't realise that! The birds were feeding in the garden, so not paying attention to anyone, or anything in the house. He was halfway up my arm, hissed and shot off across me. The only reaon he didnt end up behind the cage is he grabbed my arm with his tail to steady himself when running and i managed to grab the end and hold in place and move him to his cage. Now paranoid I've hurt his tail. My god he moved fast.
