Hi all,
I posted a while back when we brought our BP home and received a lot of helpful advice... but the problem is continuing and I wanted to see if this is normal.
We brought our BP home approximately 2 months ago. Her husbandry is very good, she's eating well and she had a full shed about a month ago. For the first few weeks, she was really nippy... bit me several times, my daughter once, etc... We let her settle in and for 2 weeks or so, he seemed tolerant of being held. Now for the past few days, she has gone back to biting, drawing blood each time. I was hoping she would settle down, but it doesn't seem so. I took her out for 10 minutes this evening and she struck at me 5 times. She was bought from a LPS...
Is it normal for a BP this young to be so nippy? She's about 24-26"... give or take. It's hard to get an accurate measurement on her. She's eating adult size mice no problem.
I read all the posts about how people have never been bit over the years by a bp and here it is, I've been bit 20 plus times in less than 2 months
Thoughts? Suggestions?
My daughter and I really like her, but the biting is getting old...
Thanks in advance,
Mog
