Well you guys, I've resorted to desperatemeasures with Mocha!His chewing and biting has become so badthat I resorted to using a water bottle to spray him even though Ididn't want to before because that's how I cool him off and didn't wantto think he's being punished for nothing when I'm cooling him off. I'llhave to figure out something else for hot days.
Well Mocha is getting bad for chewing on the wire fencing and I'veheard it's bad for their teeth to have that constant pulling, etc. Hehas a ton of wood and other things to chew on but when I'm not in hisrun, he chews constantly to get where people are or just to reach somegrass or leaves. It's to the point it's annoying and he biteseverything now, from me to a plastic tube. It's painful for me and I'mthinking it's because he's never been punished that he thinks it'sacceptable. So today, I got so fed up with it that I got a spray bottleand sat on the other side of the fence petting Spice. Mocha wanted onour side to be pet so bad that he started chewing and much to hisdislike, got a squirt from the bottle. He did that twice more beforeturning away from the fence and getting a raspberry leaf as a reward.Ever since it only takes one squirt and he gives me the bunny butt. Andif he goes over to the fence but doesn't chew, he gets a reward for it,I'm hoping this is a start! Not even Mocha can resist a raspberry leaf,even if they are mad at me for spraying them, lol.
I think it's a miracle, I hate his biting so much. :X
