Guys I’m back with me lady Marge. She is a sweet gal but resently she has turned intl a biter. I went to hold her and she tried to bite me. This is the 3rd time this has happened. She’s never been a biter and has never tried to bite me except for recently when I reach in there to get her but only when I come close, not when I reach in to get her food I wonder if this is a temporary thing whether it’s a health thing or this she’s just going through a funk any advice would be good
You will soon learn how to avoid those cute little jaws of destruction, as well as no longer be surprised when she does succeed at causing her little triangle dents in your flesh. You will also grow to just adore her sass and spirit. Don’t let her attacks prevent you from still working on building trust and continue to hand feed when you can. In time, she will start to see your hands as a provider of food and try eating them before biting whenever they get too close. Usually once she realizes the fingers are not fat worms, she will then initiate the biting. She will never kindly accept being touched and will detest being held, but she may not try to bite once on your hand. At least this is how it is for my sweet and fierce old lady, Stella. While she has never been what one would call ‘friendly’ and has always been out for blood, she does know that she is safe with me. As she’s become old and slowed down, she’s needed some help at times with eating (too slow some days to grab her food) and had some other needs, that trust has really been essential with/for her.
