Hello all, I just got back from the White Plains NY show and got my first blue tounge Sunday. He or she was born 8 weeks ago. I handled "Grimace" at the show and he was very responsive and calm. I have not handled since I have gotten him home. He spends time out of his hide boxes but as soon as my wife or myself gets close enough to be seen he heads right back into his hides. I was hoping to get your thoughts on the normality of this behavior and any tips you may have so Grimace will bond with us and trust us. Thanks Matt.
