    Just tried to eat my neck...?

    So I fed Jack 2 days ago and decided to let him out for a few today. Last weight was end of March at 205 g and I fed him 33 grams on the 14th of April. He was chilling up by my shoulder/neck and decided to go for my jugular.....seriously...I was watching him in the mirror...scared me a bit but then my heart rate went back down and all was okay.....has anyone else experienced this? Does that mean he is still hungry....or just a little crap today? He was content to come out and never balled up at all.....??? He hasn't struck at anyone since the first week we had him...any thoughts? Thanks

    My girl does that all the time, he may be still hungry. They just simply open the mouth and try to bite without striking... May also have been a yawn...also a sign he's hungry.

    Like peoples said, probably a sign of hunger. My cali king does this with my fingers when he is super hungry.

    Of course, he might just like you in a special way and was trying to get a necking session with you.

    I use herbal essence body wash.....since he just ate two days ago when would be a good time to weigh again? I bought more rats and am expecting them on Thursday....and bought pups (which he is eating now) and weaned....
