[QUOTE="Rick Stallard, post: 35055, member: 3166"] I agree. With the NW - CB they don't have the kill or be killed mentality. This is just my feeling, that if you offer your hand and they climb on, you have created a trust, atleast the T will know that that big thing coming at it is not going to kill me. Rehousing is super stressful to any T and most people rush it, blocking all exits and make it go where it's not sure it wants to go. I have the new place all ready, I gently wait for the T to climb on my hand and very slow I go to the new home and let it crawl off. Nothing stressful at all. If it doesn't act like it wants to climb onto my hand I wait 30 min and try again. If still no response, then I do it with help from a cup and brush. Might not be for or work for everyone, but it does work for me. [/QUOTE]
