Hi there, just looking for a bit of reassurance and advise please. That I'm doing the right thing with my quaker basil. I bought basil a 4 month old hand reared quaker and supposed to be hand tame (but he isn't) a week ago and slowly he has started taking food from my fingers (inside the cage) but does tend to run away more often than not. I have tried using my finger and branch to try and get him to step up but he just runs away!! Is this a bit too soon. I also have tried leaving the cage open but he is not interested in coming out to explore. He is slowly starting to make funny noises like laughing and does squark a couple of times but nothing major.
Please could anyone just give me any advise really on the first steps to get him tame enough to come out.
Any help gratefully appreciated thanks.
