well done roxy
time,time,time. i got a rescue iggie in about 2 years ago, what they have done to her i rather don't wanna know. she had a hard life, i always refer to her as my old "spirits drinker", one foot no toes, halfa tail,scaring to horrific to describe, she was so vicious, she whipped and bit like crazy. it took me 6 months to the stage that i handle her with no problem. i rub her skin with oil daily, after her bath, she will still huff and puff, but no biting or whipping anymore.
in total i have 4 rescues, they all were bad, but you can win them over with effort and lots of patience!
reinhard, tell your friend to get soft cotton gloves, the bridal jobbies, it just help for the severe scratching, and put in a lot of time with the iggie handling it daily.
