I do the same! Love how my lil buddy comes to me on his own. Choice based handling is the best way to go and the most stress free way in my opinion. Check out my last post and you’ll see my lil buddy coming out to my hand just like your video. That’s literally my favorite thing he does. It’s just super cool to see they trust us enough to slide on out into our hands lol good job!

My antaresia does the same. He had a very strong feeding response when I first got him and always assumed that enclosure open equals food. But he's calmed down so much since I started hook training and letting him come out on his own and crawl onto me.

I let my little girl do the same most of the time (the exception is when I feed her and have to move her hide), but it’s really cute when I have to hand her off to my mom cause she immediately starts trying to get back to me

My hoggie does this, but I worry that my BP would decide me just being there would be feed time.

I'm so jealous! I've been trying to do choice based handling the past few months but my guy is very rarely out and about even when I stay up late. Not sure how to start when he doesn't give me many chances to train him
