Hello all.
I am a new Quaker owner. S/he came to us about 2 months ago and I am guessing s/he is about 4+ months years old now.
I posted this a bit ago in Question forum. I thought here might be a better place to post. So here is what I posted earlier.
About biting, he has bittern my husband hard...and we are working on discouraging it ( blowing air when he tries to bite)
I don't know if it's a bonding issue...or he just want to play alone.
TIA

So I've been working on him to step up. He isn't afraid of hands and doesn't mid being touched or handled at all. He never bites strong or anything.
However, he hates step up. We are having trouble making him train step up. When he is in his stand and when I say to step up, he becomes like a stone status and doesn't move, nor step up. I think he thinks stepping up hands equals going back to his cage... He doesn't mind stepping up on some sticks.
Any good idea teaching him to step up on human hands???
