    Thanks Lucas, I've always thought adult Coastals are pretty amazing. Anyone with experience with angry baby carpets have any tips on taming this little demon down? LOL

    carpets being nervous when they are babies is just sorta how it is, handling the animal from time to time will help, but at that size they think everything is out to eat them. They tend to calm down as they get older but again there is no saying for sure. I have a male coastal that you have to really watch yourself with he got me a few months ago bit and wrapped my hand it was nothing nice. That said he is still much calmer than when he was little.

    A good trick is to get them in your hands and keep them moving, almost like a hand treadmill just keep your hands well behind it head. Hope that made sense.

    Thanks Chuck. He definitely has a go at anything in his line of sight. He ate a good meal tonight (rat woo hoo!) so he will have a good few days of being left alone to digest and settle in.

    Re: New little nipper!

    Eddie, this guy will definitely keep me on my toes. Hopefully he will grow out of it as he ages. I've had others with experience tell me that time has more to do with them settling down than handling. Thanks to everyone for the kind words
