Ira Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Good luck getting the babies hand reared. We have a wild one that we managed to get up to the point of stepping up on your finger. But I've been told they're very difficult to "tame". Ours is a little sweety though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
