Chin Slave
The girl I am fostering is kinda evil. I have had her since the spring and have been trying to rehome her but no one wants to take her, even for free!
Right from the start she lunged at me and makes this really strange sound every time I get close to her. I put my hand in her cage every night to clean up and restock but she hisses at me and freaks out. I have to put dust in her cage because she will not come out. honestly she may come out every couple weeks for playtime because i cant even coax her in any capacity to come out. I usually end up making a quick grab but I have to stress her. I have most of her cage covered cause the chins next to her were kinda freaking her out.
I dont know what to do different. I am very gentle with her. speak to her softly. give her extra attention. she will let me scritch her once in a while. she takes her treat from my hand.....grabs it quickly and runs. it has never take this long for a chin to warm up to me. I am still trying to rehome her because i dont have the room, it was supposed to be temporary. But I have been selective in my decisions because I want an experienced owner with patience for this misunderstood girl. I feel like I am failing her.
Any suggestions?? I just dont want her to be so afraid and skittish. Is she doomed to an anxiety filled life???
