Never thought about using the bathroom for this. Trying it at the weekend.

The false hibernation warning deserves its own post honestly. It catches people every winter.

Treats from the hand and not the bowl is the single best taming tip on this forum.

The 47 base for dwarfs and 60 for Syrians is a good baseline. Worth repeating because pet shops still sell much smaller.

The goal being that they come to you rather than tolerate you is the whole thing. Well put.

The heavy hide on the deep corner is a small thing that makes a huge difference.

The cables point is real. Mine found one behind a cupboard I had forgotten existed.

A week of doing nothing sounds slow until you realise it saves you a month later.

The bearings point is underrated. Mine got loud at four months and one drop of oil fixed it.

Waking them up to handle them is the mistake everyone makes. Six months in and I still regret it.
