No taming required, just handle and love them. Or are you trying to get them to do something?????

i can do better than deb, just give them to me.. but i keep them.. :2funny:

seriously if you mean by accepting you, go slow, don't rush things, don't attempt to pick him up and put your hand near him until he gets used to you.

like what you can do, is open he door and just put your arm in, so your hand is in there, let him come up to you, let him sniff, if you make any fast movements, being new, he will most likely run away... so just sit still, keep doing this for a bit, then slowly move a finger and attempt to give him scritches. 

chins take time to gain trust.

I agree with debbie, everyone of my kits that grew up in our house was in our hands daily, passed between my gf and I and they have become wonderfully hand friendly.  Expect they are all shredded wheat monsters.  But hey gotta love em!

okay i'm confused now. i was just joking around, like saying  since she didn't know what to do i'll take them off her hands..because of what you said.. so i was like, i'll take them... did that make sense..
