Aggressive/dominant baby bp

[bcr229]

Hi, I got my first baby bp April 25th. I have been having problems with him striking at me when I come near the tub. It's gotten to the point where I don't want to even try to pick him up. His humidity and temp are fine and he doesn't seem to be going into shed. He is in a seperate room by himself (quiet). I feed him a fuzzy every monday. I have been told that if you hold a bp everyday for at least 20 minutes it will get used to you but i can't even do that because he will strike while i am holding him. I dont know what to do...any advice?

Are you feeding a rat fuzzy or a mouse fuzzy? A mouse fuzzy is too small a meal, they normally start on hoppers when they hatch. Your baby may just be very hungry.
