I've had Gizmo for almost 3 weeks now....he goes everywhere with me, all in all spending 15-16 hours a day with me, everyday. bonding has gone really well...he lets me rub under his chin and tummy and that makes him fall asleep. I give him snacks while I'm at work, and he loves climbing on me. He gives my fingers kisses, and actually loves being petted. My question is...how do I know when it's safe to let him explore the apartment a bit? He seems like he wants to, his personality is very feisty and curious, but I'm afraid he'll run away from me, and I don't want to have to chase him and screw up the bond we have. How should I begin letting him explore a bit? Is the tent just a better bet?

take him into a room where he cant go anywhere you cant reach him, like a bathroom--just make sure the toilet seat is down, windows are closed, door is closed, and anything that could be harmful to him is put away--you can bring some toys in there for him to play with or let him do his own thing--

a tent is also another good idea--let him get used to you picking him up when he gets too far--this way when you are ready to let him go farther you will be able to get him--


if you are unsure of yourself and him--do not let him wander where you are afraid he may get to---

you have to trust yourself and he has to trust you as well---

try doing things small first--like a tent or an enclosed room where nothing bad could happen--


we will play in the bathroom with our gliders (depending on who we play with--there can be up to 4 gliders at a time--and it is a little harder to watch 4)

most of our gliders are pretty good about staying on us and not wandering too far away--and others will come back to us when we give them our hands---

start small and work your way up--this way you do not have any bad experiences and neither will he

Judge not until you have walked in their shoes and lived their lives. What you see online is only part of the story.
