This is my little chin's second day in his new home. He seems to love his cage, its very tall, plenty of ledges. I've provided him with everything he needs, bedding, places to hide, toys, stuff to chew on, food, water, sand baths, etc. Hes been bouncing around acting perfectly happy, theres just one problem, he thinks my hands are something to eat! I havent been trying to pick him up yet or even pet him, cause I know he's probly still stressed. I've been just setting my hand onto the floor of his cage, not moving it. He will come up to my hand, sniff it, and immediately start nipping it, and its not just like one test nip, its an "I want to eat this!" nip. I always have to pull my hand away before he nips it too hard. And no I don't have any food or perfumes on my hands. Anyways, I tried someone's suggestion and rubbed my hands all over the sand he baths in, then I laid my hand back in the cage. After a minute, he came up to my hand, sniffed a finger, and bit it, HARD. I yelled out cause it surprised me and hurt rather badly, and I instinctively jerked my hand, which in turn accidentally hit him (not hard) on the head. He of course freaked and ran into his hiding hole. He wont come out and now
I think he hates me :cry3: . I just dont understand why he wants to bite me all the time. Should I leave him alone for a few days? Help!!
