I've had my IR for 2 1/2 years now and he has never bitten anyone, sometimes threatens people he doesn't like but that's it. He has always been hand tame and would jump up on your hand anytime you put it in front of him. Now for the last two weeks he has taken to biting people fairly often, he actually jumps up at people to attack their hands when you try to pick him up. It's not just a warning, he bites hard enough to draw blood. I believe it's because he doesn't like being in his cage anymore but he is destructive if not supervised so when we're at work and at night he must be caged. He never had a problem with his cage before but now he won't even go in it when bribing him with a peanut. Any ideas? I have two kids in the house so this behaviour can't go on.
