I am having a problem with my GCC, Jewel. She savagely and relentlessly bites anyone who comes within range, but mostly me because everyone else is too afraid to go near her. I have tried to ignore the biting as I have read about, but she has left scars on more than one of my fingers and given me bone deep hematomas. The bites are very difficult to not react to because she tries to take chunks out of me. I really want to bond with her, but I cannot tolerate the biting- it is savage!. She seems to love it when I talk to her, but when I try and offer her my finger she automatically goes for the bite. She was supposed to be a companion for my son, but she bit him so hard he's afraid of her now, so I am working on building a bond with her myself. She is approximately 7 months old. I know she is still a baby, but there seems to be no reason for the behavior except that she doesn't want to be touched or handled. She'll even "step up" onto my finger occasionally, but when she does, she bites. I'm not sure what else to do and would appreciate any advice! Thanks!
