it took iZ months to totally get over his fear of water and then even longer to get to the point where he actually *does* enjoy it ... sometimes ... be patient!

iZ also is one who is *terrified* of the faucet running, so try having the bath fixed before you bring the ig in ... iZ also had to be sure he could hold on to me while he was getting over his fear ~ the first month, i was just about IN the tub with him, i was leaning over so far so he could be on my arm + i'd gently splash water on him ...

some igs *never* decide they like baths ~ guess they aren't reading the same things we are??? lots of patience tho! it's a great way to 'toilet train' them and it's great during shedding season!

good luck!
