They hate change so if so things change it can take time to adjust and it is also getting to know you and trust you etc.... your changes are good so it will be be ok over time. Get a routine with him and he will feel safe.I have taken advice! Wadding removed.
day 1) herbie avoided the area and slate
Day 3) put a flannel there instead
Day4) doesn’t use flannel or slate and does not go in the area at all now
he must have really liked the wadding….any advice?
