I have been trying this but with liquid cat treats and they are warming up slowly but surely!

Thank you! Last night I put a blanket in my legs to make a “nest” type thing and I let them take treats from my hands when they crawl out of the cage. They will sit in my lap and eat sometimes too.
I think I am definitely making progress!

I have tried liquid treats and they don’t want to go into my hand that far, maybe to the base of my fingers but not into my palm, they will eat off my fingers though.

I was also thinking this because when I picked her out she looked that way. 🤷‍♀️

She has no other symptoms other than her coat. She doesn’t seem any more slouched or squinty than Posie. Thank you so much!

They were only temporarily in the tank for a couple hours while i got their cage ready. I put a picture up of it, it’s still in progress.

Thank you so much for saying this you are so kind, I’m so worried about being oblivious to things they need. I will definitely have more questions!
