Bitten - 2008/04/02 21:53
Just read through some other stories on biting and am looking for a little reassurance and advice. Lychee has got a lot more use to us over the last month and is now quite happy to play on us etc. Unfortunately he has bitten on a couple of occasions. It’s not every time he comes across skin and isn’t usually a long or hard bite just a nip like he’s testing us to see if we’re food except once when he was running for the crook of my arm and I went to pick him out, although I think he might have had a finger poked right in his face that time. This is what I want reassurance on, that, on the scale of things this is normallish. I’m not that affected as I tend to keep away from his pointy end due to the fact that if we introduce new foods his first reaction is to attack it to see if a)it’s food and b)he likes it, but my girlfriend is getting quite upset but knows not to take it personally. We’re going to try the hand sanitizer thing next time (hopefully he won’t like the taste of that).
I did notice that he does bite and carry around the cat balls with bells in I got him which I thought at the time was funny as he didn’t like the sound of them. Could this be encouraging him to bite? Should I take them off him?
