QUESTION: not sure how old- young adult, and about 2 months
AnswerHi Sheri,
It seems to me that he/she is still a little scared of being handled. To help with this I would suggest holding him/her more often. Make sure to cup one hand over him/her, this makes them feel more secure and less likely to jump. Also, while holding him/her, talk to it in a soft voice to help calm him/her down.
If you have anymore questions, please write again.
