Hi guys, This is something I'm not sure how to deal with.
My GCC get over excited sometimes, like today i got him some cat ball toys (those plastic balls with a bell inside) for when he's outside his cage. He went ballistic for them and it was amazing to watch him chasing them and throwing them around, all fluffed up and hyper; then he'd stop, energy gone like " I don't wanna play this now" until he got his energy back.
This is adorable and he's having fun, I can hold one in my hand and he'll carefully beck at it until he goes balls to the walls for it and no one can stop him... unless a hand gets too close.
He's done this with a few toys, but when he's into it (before is fine, i can hand him the toy) he'll charge the hand that's nearby. Although I've learnt to move fast or keep out the way either he always stays this way with the toy or he eventually learns to chill, he was like this (maybe calmer) with tea spoons which is an issue for me who can't drink a hot drink without one (obsessive stirring on my front?). He did eventually chill with the tea spoons but is there something I can do beside not let him play with things he gets over excited for? it seems a shame.
Typically I let him get to it and he'll get tired and stop, then it's safe and he wont charge hands but it seems a tad bit risky?
Any advice?
