Serious biting problem
Normally high food response wouldn’t be a problem, but he thinks EVERYTHING is food, even a hand he’s currently sitting on. I don’t know what to do, he has been fed three days ago.
When I was buying him he went for the breeder’s hands, but at that time I thought he was just hungry. Then he went for mine when I was relocating him to his enclosure. 30 minutes after eating, because he wouldn’t even let me get near before his first meal at my house (I was quick and careful to not make him throw up). Now that he’s settled after a few days he still bites. I make sure to wash my hands very well with soap before handling and he still goes for it. Doesn’t matter if it’s literally the hand he’s currently sitting on. I tried to be patient, gave him breaks before trying again, and he. STILL. BITES! Every time! And it seems like every time there’s more blood.
I really don’t know what to do here, I obviously don’t want to overfeed him, but he acts like he’s literally starving. It’s as if the breeder was feeding him with human fingers instead of mice. What can I do with this ravenous creature?
