Ok...for you Flemmie-knowledgeable people out there, I have to ask for some advice...
This is actually something I've not encountered before...
Teeny feels a bit to free to explore OUR FLESH with his teeth. He usually gives rather small little nips, nothing horribly big about them...but the other day, flat-out BIT Em! :shock:
Now, he's a sweet little boy, and happy to be here...so it's not something like him being angry or bad-tempered, that much I know.
I think it's kinda like how a baby uses biting things as a way to figure this or that out. But, he'll do it when I'm trying to get a grab onto the clasp that holds his door closed, or I'm standing right next to his cage, and he'll nip me through the bars, and such...it's just seemingly kinda constant!
How can I teach Mr. Teeny Flemish that biting is a no-no?
I've yelped the times he's done it with me, but Em is now kinda scared to be around him when he's out (which is darn near everyday).
Help? Those are big teeth...in a big mouth...and that big mouth is just gonna get even BIGGER...
