Hello All!
I'm a new mother to an almost 3 month old GCC named Dixon (named after Daryl from TWD...haha) He's been sexed so I know he's a male. I've had him for five days now... One moment everything is great, the next he's latching on to the skin of my finger. I've googled my heart out trying to find out what to do... I tried re-positioning my hand, the "earthquake" method, removing him and setting him down on top of his cage, etc... Yesterday we were having a great morning. I tried just saying "no biting" very calmly every time he would nip... and that was working great until he latched on and wouldn't let go! I really don't want to feel intimidated, but I'll admit, I am. As soon as he released he went right for my head and when I asked him to "step up" on to my finger, he bit me again and began carrying on. I need advice! What am I doing wrong?
