    Re: My Bp has a serious aggro issues why?

Also, try not to make fast movements around your BP. BPs seem to hate fast movements, and they will either hide their head underneath their body or strike (but the strike is usually only bumping you with it's nose to scare you away). My male has striked at me a few times, but I'm handling him every day (except the day and the day after feeding) and he seems to be getting used to it. I've had him for 3 weeks now and he's doing great. Just gently and calmly handle him on a daily basis and he will get used to your handling. Show no fear, you know you are way stronger than he is even though he may make movements (striking) to scare you.

    *Note- males sometimes will get a little grumpy around mating season, which seems to be getting close (the Fall).


    Hey

    so i am very nice to him and calm i try to be as nice as i can as i think his breeder was mean to him!

    and im not scared of him at all. hence why i still pick him up even tho he is usually in defense mode. i think if he wanted to bite me he would seeing how he is usually on my hand and/or im toughing him when he strikes and he strikes at my face lol

    when he seems scared i let him go on my floor and he cruses around

    "i made sure it was safe for him"

    thanks for the reply i will send him love
